Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2017
500. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) still has to attend Turas Nua to complete the programme, even though they will be signing off jobseeker's allowance and starting full-time employment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13109/17]
View answerParticipants on JobPath receive intensive individual support to help them to overcome barriers to employment and to assist them in finding jobs and when they find employment they will continue to receive support calls from their personal advisor for at least three months and up to twelve months while in employment and will not be required to attend any meetings during that time. The support provided will reduce as the person settles into the job and they can opt out of the support calls at any time during that period
If the Deputy would like to pass on the contact details of the customer mentioned, my officials will make contact with them to discuss their concerns.
