What is the Assured Skills programme?

The Assured Skills programme is a short, demand-led, pre-employment training programme, which is fully funded by the Department for the Economy, to upskill individuals and help them compete for guaranteed job vacancies in new foreign direct investment (FDI) companies and expanding businesses.

When a company is interested in creating jobs in Northern Ireland, Assured Skills provides the necessary support to deliver a skilled workforce through the delivery of pre-employment training programmes.

Potential candidates can find out how to apply for the latest opportunities on NI Direct website, the official government website for Northern Ireland citizens:
