Northern Ireland is home to a highly educated, innovative and results-driven workforce
Northern Ireland has a steady stream of enthusiastic, talented people for international companies seeking a strong workforce. The region’s universities and further education colleges work closely with businesses to ensure a pipeline of talent with relevant skills and qualifications.
Assured Skills Academies
Companies looking to expand across borders won’t find anything in Europe quite like Northern Ireland’s Assured Skills Programme. This is a fully funded, pre-employment training programme that guarantees incoming companies can secure the right talent with the right skill sets.
With direct input from participating companies and in collaboration with Northern Ireland’s colleges, newly arriving operations can hit the ground running. The Academy Model is flexible and has been used to help companies recruit new staff in areas such as software development, data analytics, cyber security, applied intelligence, legal services and financial services.
