Employment and Learning Minister Dr Stephen Farry today announced the appointment of Ms Carmel McKinney OBE as Chair of the Governing Body of Northern Regional College (NRC). Referring to the appointment, Minister Farry said: “Further education colleges are central to helping to deliver the growth of Northern Ireland’s economy. With its origins and traditions firmly rooted within the local communities it serves, Northern Regional College is ideally positioned to understand and respond to the needs of the economy, employers and learners in their catchment area.

“I am confident that the appointment of Ms Carmel McKinney will ensure that the College has the strategic leadership in place to enable it to deliver its primary goal of upskilling the local population and contributing to the economic development of the area.”
