Major Recruitment Drive As Artemis Technologies Ramps Up Zero-Emission Ferry Programme
Staff numbers at Artemis Technologies, which is leading a Belfast-based consortium to decarbonise maritime, are expected to almost treble to 70 by the end 2021 and rise to 100 by this time next year.
It is part of a major recruitment drive by the company as it ramps up its programme to develop and build a new class of zero-emission fast ferries in the city.
The £60 million project, backed by UK Research and Innovation’s flagship Strength in Places Fund is being led by the company’s Chief Operations Officer, Professor Mark Gillan.
Participants in the academy will receive industry-relevant pre-employment training from Belfast Met and Ulster University over four weeks.
Those who successfully complete the academy are guaranteed an interview for a role at FinTrU.
Highlighting the opportunity, the Minister said, “FinTrU is a successful and growing local employer and I am very pleased that my Department is once again working in close partnership with the company to offer an Assured Skills Academy.
“Assured Skills Academies have a strong track record of providing high-quality training while also providing local businesses with the skills and talent they need to grow.
“This is an excellent opportunity for people with a degree to gain the skills they need to kick-start a career in financial services.
