As the Deputy will be aware, JobPath is an employment activation service that supports people who are long-term unemployed and those most at risk of becoming long-term unemployed to secure and sustain paid employment. Seetec delivers the JobPath service in an area which encompasses broadly the northern half of the state. In County Mayo, the service is delivered directly by Seetec (i.e. there is no sub-contractor involvement) which has established full-time offices in Castlebar and Ballina and provides outreach services in Achill and Belmullet.

By way of additional information, Seetec has arranged for customers of the service to link in with a number of organisations in the training/educational sphere, for example: Abaris Training Management, Denis Larkin Associates, FRS Training, Gill Group, Jimmy’s School of Motoring, Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim Education and Training Board, National Training Solutions, RSA, Safetech and Safeway Health & Safety Consultants.

The training and educational supports provided by these organisations is in addition to the training interventions delivered in-house by Seetec.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
