I propose to take Questions Nos. 427, 453, 471 and 479 together.
Farm Assist is not one of the qualifying payments for JobBridge. Individuals do not need to be available for work to be in receipt of Farm Assist. Jobbridge participants must be available to undertake at least thirty hours work per week.
As at 30th October, 2013, 6,384 individuals aged under 25 years have voluntarily participated in JobBridge, of whom 4,745 have finished their internship and 1,637 are currently on JobBridge internships. This is in line with my commitment to giving youth unemployed the opportunity to gain new skills and experiences to bridge the gap to the rest of their working lives.
The following tables give the breakdown of JobBridge participants, and participants in the local authorities. 21% of all placements to-date have been in public sector bodies. This equates to 4,847 internships. Of the 4,847 placements in the public sector, 1,341 jobseekers are currently on the scheme and 3,506 jobseekers have finished their placements in the public sector.
The Indecon evaluation of JobBridge found that there is a higher rate of employment among participants who completed their internships in private sector organisations. However, encouragingly 41.2% of all participants who undertook their internship in a public sector organisation progressed into paid employment. The high rates of progression into employment among public sector interns also show that the experience that interns gain in public sector host organisations facilitates them in gaining employment.
Internships are advertised on the JobBridge website for eight weeks. The scheme is voluntary and the decision to interview or how to interview candidates is a matter for the host organisation.
