PEOPLE 1st, the award-winning employment and learning organisation offering a range of government funded training, employment support initiatives and corporate training solutions, has celebrated a quarter century in business.

And to celebrate the milestone, the organisation - whose strapline is 'See your ambition become reality' - is offering a range of free places on various training courses throughout its centres.

Established in 1992 as Dairy Farm Training with a staff of just two people on one site, the company now has 106 staff and more than 60 associates across seven sites in Northern Ireland, and three in Donegal.

With vast experience in the design, development and accreditation of training, qualifications and quality marks, People 1st has had over 57,000 learners achieving accredited qualifications.

"The company is proud to have worked successfully with some leading employers throughout Ireland," managing director Bernadette Daly said.

"At the forefront of the organisation is its commitment to working with community-based providers to provide access to qualification and learning opportunities to those in need."

She added: “Over the last 25 years we have worked hard to help our clients see their ambitions become reality, and we look forward to the continuation of this in years to come.’’

The company’s commitment to excellence has been reflected in the recent awards received including Deloitte Best Managed Company Ireland and Investors in People Gold Standard.
