Skills and Employability

Newry Mourne and Down Labour Market Partnership has a number of employment academies which aim to provide tailored training to help people get jobs and help businesses with recruitment.

An academy can include:

• an opportunity to hear about the role from people already in the career
• pre-interview training
• technical or accredited modules or both
• guaranteed interview for people completing the academy
