Farry Launches Careers Information Fact Sheets
Employment and Learning Minister Dr Stephen Farry today launched a series of careers information fact sheets.
The fact sheets which are available on the NI Direct website, provide up to date and current information on employment opportunities, qualification requirements, wages and job trends within a variety of occupational sectors in Northern Ireland.
Dr Farry said: "This is a valuable source of local job information providing an analysis of current and future employment trends within 24 industries in Northern Ireland. The information within these factsheets should be considered by anyone of any age planning a career, looking for a change in employment, or weighing up future study options.
"The importance of up to date information, provided by employers and relevant to the local job market, is a crucial factor when making decisions on a future career path. The factsheets are a useful resource for clients, parents, industry, careers teachers and others involved in providing advice and guidance."
The fact sheets were updated in collaboration with Industry and the Department for Employment and Learning statisticians and cover sectors ranging from the creative and cultural industries, financial services to information technology and science based jobs. The new look factsheets have been welcomed by the Sector Skills Councils in Northern Ireland. Each Council supplied the information contained within the fact sheet, relevant to their sector.
