People are expected to be on it for its entirety.

As I mentioned, a review is under way and it should be completed later this year. The results so far are very good and we must bear in mind what Turas Nua and Seetec aim to do. They aim to provide people with a system to get into full-time paid employment of 30 hours a week, which they sustain for more than three months. The results so far are very good. What we now see are many people who have spent a year on JobPath and who have not found full-time employment. Those people are all eligible for community employment. A greater effort needs to be made by the Department and community employment supervisors to identify the JobPath returnees. There are now tens of thousands of them who have been on JobPath for a year but have not found a full-time job. Surely they are ideal candidates for community employment. I would like to see them filling the vacancies.
