Ms Nuala Whelan:

I will address the promotion of JobBridge to clients through the guidance process. If we find clients have a need or deficit in terms of experience or particular skills they need in order to get a particular job, we ask them to think about how they would design their internship. What would it look like? What kind of employer would they want? What kind of work environment would they like? That way they get a sense of what they need to get from JobBridge, as opposed to what the employer can get from them. The young person has something to go on and can decide whether an internship is right for him or her.
