I can confirm to the Deputy that there are no participants on Community Employment (CE), Gateway or Tús schemes within my Department.

My Department participates in the Willing Able and Mentoring (WAM) Programme. This is a work placement programme which aims to promote access to the labour market for graduates with disabilities and build the capacity of employers to integrate disability into the mainstream workplace. The latest participant on the WAM Programme completed her placement on 9 September 2016.
