The JobPath service commenced in 2015 and referrals to the JobPath service ceased in June 2022 with the service ceasing completely in June 2024. JobPath providers continued to provide a service to existing customers during a run-off period.

The referral numbers to individual JobPath providers under contract and agreements are commercially sensitive. The overall total number of commenced engagements with the JobPath service by year is  provided in the table below.

Year Engagements
2015 6,588
2016 65,452
2017 74,860
2018 60,822
2019 50,412
2020 33,356
2021 39,034
2022 20,795
Total Engagements 351,319
The overall number to sustain a full-time job for 52 weeks under the JobPath Programme was 37,454.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
