If you are affected by the increasing skills shortages in Northern Ireland and are struggling to hire in specific areas why not join The CIPD Branch in Northern Ireland on Tuesday 12 November at noon to 13:30 to hear from our three expert speakers who will share their story about how they have risen to this challenge in each of their sectors.
