Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Community Employment Programme

10:40 am

Ms Kathleen Stack:

At present, the JobPath service is structured in phases, and the first phase is for a duration of 12 months. The unemployed person is committing himself or herself to work with the person assigned to him or her by the JobPath company for a period of 12 months. That person works with the unemployed person and helps him or her by providing practical help and advice. Is Deputy Collins suggesting that the unemployed person should be able to do both, that is, to be on a community employment scheme and at the same time partake in a JobPath programme?
