Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
JobBridge and the Youth Guarantee: National Youth Council, Ballymun Jobs Centre and Department of Social Protection
1:00 pm
Mr. James Doorley:
On Senator O'Donnell's point, we have spoken a good deal on JobBridge but regarding the positive outcomes of the Youth Guarantee pilot in Ballymun and the 29% drop, the most startling statistic is that in an era when youth unemployment generally is reducing, to have a rise in youth unemployment shows that without that concerted effort there are young people today who could be in training or in work experience.
