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.{{Cite web |url=http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/employment/2007mandate/employhome_07.htm |title=Northern Ireland Assembly - Committee for Employment and Learning home |access-date=2008-11-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081228115750/http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/employment/2007mandate/employhome_07.htm |archive-date=2008-12-28 |url-status=dead }}
