Skills To Succeed Campaign Launched
Employment and Learning Minister Dr Stephen Farry has launched a roll-out of the Skills to Succeed campaign, which seeks to highlight the importance of skills and qualifications for individuals, employers and the economy.
The Minister said: "Skills are widely accepted as the key raw material in the modern knowledge-based economy and are a key driver in how we achieve our economic goals.
"The 'Skills to Succeed' campaign aims to raise the skills level of the whole workforce, to ensure we are equipping people with the skills and qualifications that they need to achieve their full potential and to support our local businesses and the economy.
"No matter what stage you are at in your career, whether starting out and making initial careers choices or deciding to upskill or reskill to improve your employability and career prospects, skills are vital at all levels and throughout everyone's working life."
Further information on the Skills to Succeed campaign go to the NI Direct website or call 0300 200 7876.
