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.”
