The Department for Communities has appointed Future Screens NI in partnership with Arts Council NI to deliver Art Work - Covid Recovery – Employment and Skills Initiative for the Arts Sector.
The objective of the Covid Recovery - Employment and Skills Initiative is to provide support for individuals to enter into the Arts, Creative Industries, Sport, Heritage, Voluntary and Community sectors in Northern Ireland where job roles have been impacted by the pandemic, to enhance their job prospects and skill sets, and in doing so strengthen the organisations and sectors.
The Executive and the Minister for Communities, Deirdre Hargey MLA, have provided this COVID recovery funding for arts organisations and a range of other not-for-profit organisations. The funding aims to deliver interventions to address labour market barriers faced by individuals in light of the impact of the pandemic on the economy. The interventions are to have a particular focus on the arts, creative industries, heritage, sport and voluntary community sectors.
