Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion (Resumed)

12:15 pm

Mr. Colin Donnery:

Our service is based on supporting people and addressing their barriers to work. Some of those who come to us find jobs quicker than others. Our systems and analyses show that the longer a person remains with Turas Nua, the better will be his or her chance of sustaining a job. Ultimately, the idea is to put power in the unemployed person's hands rather than Turas Nua doing the job for them. We support them and our staff speak to employers and inform the individual of what jobs are available. The individual will also do work on their own so it is a case of both parties working together.
