IoD NI Skills & Workplace Forum Action Plan

Northern Ireland’s weak skills system must change to ensure the local economy can be competitive and attractive into the future, a new report urges today.

The IoD NI Skills & Workplace Forum Action Report sets out a series of recommendations for the NI Executive, business and the voluntary and community sector with a view to addressing skills shortages and ensuring Northern Ireland has the workforce it needs to grow the local economy now and into the coming decades.

The Chartered Director Programme combines professional development with access to a network and the assurance of a recognised qualification. It has been one of the best learning experiences I have been through, and I was able to progress at my own pace. I was also part of a cohort of talented individuals which allowed me to tap into a diverse range of perspectives and experiences.
