Partnerships key to tackling unemployment in North West
Minister for Employment and Learning, Jane Kennedy has said that recent job losses in the North West make co-ordinating the response by government, education providers and the local community essential.
The Minister’s comments followed a visit to the new Learning Resource Centre at Magee College and later when she joined members of the ACCORD community partnership group in the Waterside district of Londonderry.
During a tour of the futuristic complex, the Minister saw an array of study areas, IT suites and the latest library provision with 80,000 volumes housed on the ground and first floors. Ms Kennedy also heard how the design of the new complex included a purpose-built environmentally controlled Rare Books Room to house the College’s valuable collection of literary works.
Following a business lunch with senior staff at the College, the Minister joined members of the ACCORD community partnership for a meeting to discuss progress at the Waterside Development Group’s Headquarters on Spencer Road.
