v t e

The Committee for Employment and Learning was a Northern Ireland Assembly committee established to advise, assist and scrutinise the work of the Department for Employment and Learning and Minister of Employment and Learning. The committee also played a key role in the consultation, consideration and development of new legislation.^[1]

The committee was abolished in 2016 because the Department of Employment and Learning was closed and its mandate was transferred to other departments.
