A MULTI-million pound investment will help create 100 high end manufacturing jobs.
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster and Employment and Learning Minister Stephen Farry have welcomed the news that US engineering firm Caterpillar is investing over £7m in the major manufacturing project.
Part of the investment will focus on skills development to facilitate the manufacturing positions required to run the assembly of wheeled material handling machines for Caterpillar’s Industrial and Waste Group.
Mr Farry said: “I welcome this diversification by Caterpillar in Northern Ireland and the fact that part of the investment will be targeted at further enhancing core skills for the sector. Assured skills funding from my department will ensure that the organisation has the support necessary for training initiatives to develop the specific skills required.”
