We were proud to officially launch our Skills for Life and Work Programme yesterday in Armagh, creating new opportunities for young people to develop skills, build confidence and explore pathways into employment.

The evening brought together local leaders, partners, learners and the USEL team to discuss the importance of providing young people with the right support, skills and opportunities to succeed.

Hearing from current learners and showcasing a film created by Skills for Life and Work students highlighted the real impact of the programme and reinforced why this provision is so important for young people in our communities.

A huge thank you to our speakers, learners and everyone who attended. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this programme will have across the Armagh area and are excited to get it up and running!

After 49 years of service, we would like to say a big thank you and a sad goodbye to an amazing individual, Brian. 👏

Yesterday Brian officialy retired from USEL on 31st August 2026 after many years of service as a General Operative in Manufacturing.

We all wish Brian the very best on his future endeavours. 🙌🎉

Our SFLW learners had a well-deserved day of fun and activities in Dundonald and Newcastle! From escape rooms and bowling to wall climbing and the cinema, our learners thoroughly enjoyed the break.

With graduation approaching, days like these are so valuable.

💯 Barrier Project – #8 Pauline & Kieran

In this clip, Pauline and Kieran speak about the challenges families can face when trying to access support. From long periods without a dedicated social worker to constantly navigating changes in services, the lack of continuity can leave people feeling unsupported and unheard.

Their experience highlights the importance of consistent guidance, trusted relationships, and having someone who truly understands your circumstances when you need help most.

This moment, taken from our full interview, reflects on the barriers many families encounter when accessing support services and the impact these gaps can have on everyday life.
