Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Community Employment Programme

Mr. Jim Lynch:
The balance is to try to allow the JobPath provider enough time to work with the individual to get the best outcome. On balance, it is thought that one year or one and a quarter years is the best. We do from time to time agree with the JobPath provider to halt the programme if the JobPath provider comes up with a training intervention. It is not to say there is no training on JobPath, but if the JobPath case worker knows of other training that will help the individual get a job immediately or very soon, the JobPath provider will agree with that training being provided.
