JobPath is an employment service which helps long-term unemployed people and those most at risk of becoming long-term unemployed to secure and sustain paid employment. The service was introduced in 2015 on a "soft launch" basis and was fully operational by mid 2016.

In this time, just over 181,000 jobseekers have engaged with the JobPath employment service to date. All customers have received or are receiving activation support from our activation support contractors Seetec business Technology Centre Ltd and Turas Nua Ltd.

The figures in the following table are shown by year and by county.
