Training honour for Schrader

Schrader Electronics, which has a factory at Trooperslane industrial estate, was honoured in the large employer category at the prestigious ceremony held in Parliament Buildings.

Along with three other regional winners, Schrader will go on to represent Northern Ireland at the National Training Awards Winners of the Year ceremony in London on 5 October.

The National Training Awards, which are organised by the Department for Employment and Learning, recognise and reward excellence in training.

Employment and Learning Minister Dr Stephen Farry said: “Northern Ireland has a long tradition of excellence at the National Training Awards, and once more our organisations and individuals have demonstrated great vision and innovation in addressing workforce development.

“I urge businesses, organisations and individuals across Northern Ireland to equip themselves with the skills which are both relevant to the workforce of the future and which will meet our business needs. Our ability to meet the economic challenges which lie ahead will depend on it.”
