I propose to take Questions Nos. 1094 and 1104 together.
JobPath provides a case management based employment advice and counselling service to long term unemployed jobseekers.
The numbers of jobseekers that have each year engaged with JobPath and of those have sustained employment for 13, 26, 39 and 52 weeks can be seen presented below in Table 1.
It should be noted that many clients currently engaged with JobPath are still in the first phase of the service. They have not yet had sufficient time with the service to have gained employment nor sustain that employment for up to 52 weeks. The measure of performance will improve as more clients complete their engagement with the service and have a chance to reach 52 weeks in employment.
