Employment Skills Boost for Local Residents

The Council has agreed to extend a number of programmes that will help local residents gain the skills needed to access some of the employment opportunities on offer with local employers.

Since the scheme launched in 2018, almost 160 local people have successfully received new employment, which is welcome news for the whole community.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey Councillor Billy Webb said “These programmes provide crucial support to people so they have the right skills for the right job, and in particular helping disadvantaged people find employment. These figures prove these programmes are fundamental in getting local people into employment.”
