Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion (Resumed)

12:15 pm

Mr. Colin Donnery:

JobPath and our service are about keeping people in sustainable jobs. Ultimately, there is no point in us placing people in jobs in which they will not remain and will not be happy. Our number one priority is to ensure people are happy in the job, that they suit the job and that they have the skills for it. Our training is also built around this. It looks at the traits and competencies of the people involved, we match them with good employers in order that they will remain in the job.
