Committee for Employment and Learning
# Committee for Employment and Learning

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.

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