Mid Ulster Labour Market Partnership (LMP)
will recognise and celebrate the achievements of participants who have completed employment academies or programmes, as well as the local businesses and support agencies who have assisted individuals with their journey back into meaningful employment.

Through the various programmes, participants have gained accredited qualifications as well as receiving employability support and mentoring, with many returning to the labour market as a result. Others have continued their journey by re-entering education to gain additional skills before seeking employment.

During the event, participants will speak about the benefits of taking part in the programmes and the change to their daily lives.
