ABC Labour Market Partnership’s Employability & Skills Conference 2025

Educate // Empower // Employ

This year’s Employability and Skills Conference arrives at a crucial time for Northern Ireland’s careers landscape, following the launch of the Careers Action Plan 2025–2028 — a joint initiative by the Department for Education and the Department for the Economy.

With a renewed focus on careers education, inclusive pathways and joined-up delivery, the conference theme — Educate, Empower, Employ — reflects our commitment to building a more connected, inclusive and responsive careers ecosystem across the Borough.
