Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Community Employment Programme

10:40 am

Mr. Jim Lynch:

I see the Deputy's point, but the JobPath provider has a certain programme, and to interrupt that programme midway would not give the JobPath provider or the customer the best value for money from the point of view of the investment that has been made in them. The JobPath provider also works like a case officer. He or she agrees a personal individual progression plan at the start and this is what both work towards for the year. The individual will have different milestones along the year, and to cut out of the programme when he or she had achieved so much on that road would not be the best way to do business.
