Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Increasing Employment through Training: Innopharma Labs

1:30 pm

Dr. Ian Jones:

We engage directly with the Department of Social Protection offices, including in Naas and Newbridge.

We engage directly with them and help the Department of Social Protection officers to understand the profile of the suitable candidates we seek and where they could get jobs, and they provide introductions and enable us to have a stand to meet and present to people queuing for their social welfare benefits. As well as this direct interaction, we advertise in local and regional newspapers, which are great. We also use Facebook for clear profiling and very targeted marketing at national level.
