With remote working at an all-time high, Cork County Council has launched a new initiative to identify existing employment skills and talent across Cork County and use this data to deliver further resources and create greater economic opportunities. Under the Council’s Project ACT Activating County Towns, 23 newly formed Town Teams are working on individual plans for 23 County Cork towns to stimulate and support economic growth. A key part of this is the establishment of micro communities which will facilitate a ‘support local’ ethos of living and working within these towns. Cork County Council is also in the process of exploring the location of a number of digital hubs across the county to enable remote working with these towns with data collected from this initiative informing the location of these hubs. Working with Cork County Council, Irish Startup Company Abodoo provide a dedicated remote working platform for individuals and businesses. Their mapping technology will provide an ongoing live anonymised data analysis of the skills existing in Cork County, for those currently residing, the diaspora wishing to return, individuals wishing to relocate and businesses wishing to establish. The platform will also act as a means of trying to establish the extent of those remotely working presently, as a means of assisting in establishing the longer term opportunities that this might present for towns and communities across Cork County Members of the public are being asked to assist in the creation of the talent and remote working map by registering their skills set at www.abodoo.com/corkcounty. Information provided in the project will not include any personally identifiable material and will capture key data points for remote and office working.
