Building a Skilled Future for Northern Ireland

a group of people working together around a table

Northern Ireland’s prosperity depends on closing skills gaps, fostering lifelong learning, and empowering a workforce ready for tomorrow’s challenges. The All-Party Group (APG) on Skills, established by Assembly members and supported by The Open University in Ireland as Secretariat, unites political, business, and education leaders to drive this critical agenda.

Our Role as Secretariat

The Open University in Ireland coordinates the APG’s work, leveraging over 50 years of expertise in flexible education. We facilitate meetings, gather evidence, and engage stakeholders to turn insights into actionable recommendations.
