Discover more about the Skills Focus Programme and how our Business Engagement Team can support your business to upskill and reskill to stay ahead in an ever-changing economy.
The Department for the Economy has made upskilling and reskilling a priority in growing the Northern Ireland economy to meet its changing demands. Through the Skills Focus Programme, businesses can receive up to 90% funding to support the cost of training.
To be eligible, businesses must be registered (excluding charities and community groups), based in Northern Ireland, and have fewer than 250 employees. They must also have a need to develop staff at Level 2 or above in priority sectors.
A Business Engagement Officer will work with each business to assess training needs through a brief skills audit, identifying opportunities for upskilling or reskilling and the potential benefits to the business. Based on this, a tailored delivery plan will be created and implemented to help the company and its employees gain new, valuable skills.
