Funding may be available under the Technical Employment Support Grants Scheme (TESGS) in instances where the Employment Services Officer (ESO) identifies that the jobseeker has a support need in order to enter/re-enter the labour market. I would advise the individual concerned to contact the ESO in his area, whose contact details can be obtained from the Department’s Local Office in Carrigaline to discuss the viability of providing financial assistance towards the specified training course.
