Ms Fiona Dunne:

Our document outlines a number of measures to address the issue of graduate unemployment. JobBridge is to be extended and many graduates have taken up the positions available. We are aware of major issues of exploitation, although we acknowledge JobBridge gives people access to opportunities they would not normally have. However, the quality of these opportunities should be much higher and they should be better linked with what they have studied and their current skills and mapped to the areas and sectors in which jobs are available. There is a need for coherence across a number of areas in getting graduates into employment.
