The Mid Ulster Employer Toolkit is now available online.

Developed by the Mid Ulster Labour Market Partnership (LMP), the Mid Ulster Employer Toolkit is a comprehensive online resource designed to help employers navigate the ever-changing world of recruitment, workforce development and employee retention.

Whether you're recruiting your first apprentice, developing future leaders, reviewing your HR practices or looking to create a more inclusive and supportive workplace, the Employer Toolkit brings together practical guidance, resources and expert signposting in one convenient place.
The Toolkit is continually being updated and enhanced to ensure employers have access to the latest information, best practice guidance and relevant support available, making it a valuable resource that grows alongside the needs of local businesses.


The Toolkit includes guidance and resources on:

  • Apprenticeships, including Higher Level Apprenticeships (HLAs);

  • Graduate Programmes;

  • Student Placements;

  • Internships and Work Experience;

  • Developing mentorship opportunities and supporting succession planning;

  • Recruitment and retention through effective HR policies and best practice;

  • Flexible and hybrid working;

Each section has been designed to be practical, easy to navigate and relevant to employers of all sizes. Alongside helpful guidance, you'll find links to trusted organisations, funding opportunities and specialist support services, enabling you to access the advice and assistance you need to build a resilient, skilled and future-ready workforce.
