Question:153 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Social Welfare when details of the 1995 student summer jobs scheme will be available from his Department. [3862/95]
Written Answers - Summer Jobs Scheme.
The students summer jobs scheme last year proved to be of significant benefit to local communities and voluntary groups. Many valuable projects have been undertaken by students over the past two years which would otherwise not have been carried out. Because of the success of the scheme to date and in recognition of the valuable contribution made by students to their communities, I obtained an additional allocation of £1 million in the budget for improvements in this year's scheme. This will allow me to make significant improvements.
Details of the 1995 scheme will be announced in the national papers in early March inviting sponsors and students to apply. Registration forms will be issued around the same time to all sponsors who registered projects in last year's scheme.
