“National Employability Week is not only timely – it
is vital. It brings together educators, employers and communities with one
shared purpose.”

Full Agenda Coming Soon
We will be holding the first-ever Employability Conference, Hands-on Skills Development Workshops for Young People, Roundtable Discussions, Workplace Visits, and more. More detailed agenda coming soon.

“National Employability Week is an exciting opportunity to come together with partners across the region to empower our young people with the confidence, skills and experiences they need to thrive. By working collaboratively—across education, business and the voluntary sector—we can open doors to brighter futures and help shape a generation that is ready and equipped for the world of work.”
