Newry and Mourne Labour Plus Regional Consultation took place last week as a continuation of the partnership agreement between Newry and Mourne District Council and the Municipality of Nieuwegein in the Netherlands to deliver the INTERREG IVC Labour Plus Project.
The Labour Plus Council Officials met with key stakeholders including representatives from the Department of Employment and Learning, Office of First Minister/Deputy First Minister, the Equality Commission, the Northern Ireland Strategic Migration Partnership and members of the business community to discuss labour market integration with a particular focus on vulnerable groups including migrant workers and Irish Travellers.
The Labour Plus Project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and made possible by the INTERREG IVC programme. The project’s global aim is to fully address the INTERREG IVC programme priority “Employment, Human Capital and Education.”
