Get The Essentials

28th October 2013

EMPLOYMENT and Learning Minister Dr Stephen Farry has reinforced the benefits of essential skills for adults.

Calling on all prospective adult learners to sign up for a free essential skills course in literacy, numeracy or ICT, he said: “Essential skills are accredited adult qualifications available throughout Northern Ireland.

The free classes offer a second chance for individuals to fulfil their capabilities with a range of qualifications in literacy, numeracy and ICT.

“Gaining these skills not only improves an individual’s confidence but also helps upskill the workforce, contributing to a stronger economy.”
