My Department issued Circular 46/2011 earlier this month for schools wishing to participate in JobBridge, the National Internship Scheme. Schools or VECs who identify a potential internship opportunity will need to identify a mentor, apply online to advertise that internship and, once approved, the National Employment Service will place the advertisement on the Jobbridge website. Further details on the scheme may be obtained at www.jobbridge.ie.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 189 and 197 together. Teachers participating in JobBridge, the National Internship Scheme, are eligible to participate in the probationary process subject to the provisions of circular 0047/2011 "Probationary Requirements for Registration Purposes for Primary Teachers". Teachers who secure an internship placement should apply to Limerick Education Centre using the OP1 form. They will then be placed on the list for inspection visits.
