- Through our suite of Enterprise Programmes the Council has worked with over 200 companies/organisationsOur definition of an Enterprise Partner is very wide including not only companies but also not-for-profit organisations, registered charities, non-governmental bodies, cultural organisations, public organisations/bodies etc. This is something that we’ll be actively working to promote this year.Both SMEs and MNC participate in our SchemesValue of programmes is the long-term investment in an individual, whose career the Enterprise Partner will follow or be involved directly in (future employee, further collaborations, research outputs of interest to the Enterprise Partner). Specific examples of successful SSH Enterprise Partners include: Immigrant Council of Ireland, Migrant Rights Centre Ireland, Social Justice Ireland, DeafHear.ie, Nasc Irish Immigrant Support Centre, Garbhan Doran Architects.
