New innovative technology has been launched aimed at creating new jobs and skills for people in Co Derry and the North West City Region.
It's hoped that the new 'cross border skills and talent map' will help promote local skills to employers while highlighting to the wider public how they can map their skills and help showcase the wealth of talent and employability that exists in the North West.
The North West City Region Talent Solution Project is a cross-border project that is supported by NW Development Funds and financed by the NI Executive and Irish Government.

The project is being delivered jointly by Donegal County Council and Derry City and Strabane District Council in partnership with Abodoo.
Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council Cllr Sandra Duffy said she was delighted to be involved with the project.
She said: “This is a really fantastic project and I am delighted we are working with our neighbours in Donegal on such an innovative and worthwhile initiative.
"The cross-border partnership approach to promoting the region and its wealth of well educated and skilled workforce is the best approach when it comes to investment and skills development.
"This project will not only be of huge benefit to local employers and prospective investors but will also assist local job seekers and those living and working in the North West who are keen to look at new job and skills development opportunities.”
A global skills mapping platform has been developed by Abodoo, using their ‘Geonostics’ innovative technology. People can register by clicking HERE.
