Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 September 2018
214. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the number of persons actively engaged with social welfare job employment services such as Seetec and other similar schemes, by county, in each of the years 2012 to 2017 and to date in 2018; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [38079/18]
View answerJobPath is an employment service which helps long-term unemployed people and those most at risk of becoming long-term unemployed to secure and sustain paid employment. The service was introduced in 2015 on a "soft launch" basis and was fully operational by mid 2016.
In this time, just over 181,000 jobseekers have engaged with the JobPath employment service to date. All customers have received or are receiving activation support from our activation support contractors Seetec business Technology Centre Ltd and Turas Nua Ltd.
The figures in the following table are shown by year and by county.
