Our Aims

The Objectives of the organisation are three fold:

• To grow the skills, through non-traditional learning methods, of those disadvantaged within the labour market
• To promote social economy enterprise activity
• To facilitate practitioner focused research which is robust and rigorous

All areas of activity within Cresco have a strong ethos of peace and reconciliation.

'Cresco holds a vision of a society in Northern Ireland based on equality and inclusion where all those who wish to work are given the skills required for labour market participation and the opportunity to do so. Our dedicated team provide these opportunities via social enterprise activities and project based pilot initiatives, underpinned by robust research to ensure that we continue to meet both the needs of our target group and current policy demands'.
