Marvin OnumonuArmagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council’s Labour Market Partnership (LMP) launched a series of free training and employability programmes aimed at helping local people upskill, reskill and move into work.
The programmes, funded by the Department for Communities, focuses on practical training with industry-recognised qualifications in areas such as construction, classroom support, health and social care.
Opportunities include the Construction Academy, Health & Social Care Academy, Classroom Assistant Academy, and dedicated Disability Employment and Return to Work programmes – each offering tailored support, mentoring and links to local employers.
Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council Alderman Stephen Moutray, said: “These programmes are about empowering people right across our borough — giving them the tools, skills and confidence they need to take that next step in life or work.
“By investing in local talent and breaking down barriers to employment, we’re building stronger communities and creating real opportunities for people to thrive.”
