View answerIn 2019, my Department activated the extension provisions within the existing contracts of both JobPath providers that will enable referrals to the JobPath service until end-2020.
My Department is currently reviewing all contracted public employment services. This review is being undertaken with the aim of designing and introducing a comprehensive model that is fit for purpose for the Irish labour market from 2021 onwards.
This work is on-going and it is anticipated that the final report will be completed in the coming months.
