As part of the pilot, the Council is offering support to up to six employers within the Borough who wish to take part in the course by contributing 40% of the total £1,200 course fee.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Jim Montgomery said: "There is no doubt that our economy has been significantly impacted as a result of COVID19. As a Council, we are committed to developing the right mix of skills across our Borough and will continue to seek opportunities that support the recovery of our local economy and secure a more prosperous future."
