Newry & Mourne Labour & Education Forum
Newry Chamber of Commerce & Trade has actively supported the development of skills and labour across the Greater Newry Area through the Newry & Mourne Labour & Education Forum for over a decade.
The Newry & Mourne Labour & Education Forum is a stakeholder group hosted by the Southern Regional College and attended by representatives of post-primary schools, local businesses and business support organisations.
The focus of the Forum is to bridge the gap between education and industry by promoting information sharing, collaboration and strategic thinking to support the economy of the future.
Below we have selected some useful resources which will greatly benefit pupils, parents, schools and employers.
