Ards and North Down Labour Market Partnership

The Ards and North Down Labour Market Partnership (LMP) is a collaborative, multi-agency initiative established in August 2021 to improve local employment outcomes, tackle economic inactivity and youth unemployment, and address skills gaps within the Ards and North Down Borough Council area.
