179. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of CE supervisors in Cork city. [62670/22]
View answerThe Community Employment (CE) Scheme is an active labour market programme designed to provide eligible long-term unemployed people and other disadvantaged persons with an opportunity to engage in useful work within their communities on a temporary, fixed term basis.
CE sponsoring authorities employ supervisors, and in some cases assistant supervisors (in schemes with higher number of participants), to manage the administration of the scheme and the training and development of the CE participants employed on the scheme.
Currently there are 46 supervisors and 6 assistant supervisors employed by CE schemes that have participants working in locations in the Cork City area.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
