Intreo hosted a number Work and Skills recruitment fairs across Ireland in October focused primarily on the recruitment of jobseekers into employment.
A number of customers in receipt of other and DSP income support payments e.g. One Parent Family Payment, Disability Allowance etc. were issued with invites in the context of providing them with the opportunity(if they so wished) to explore current options for training and employment.
These invites were issued as voluntary opportunities so that these customers could find out more about the training/employment options available to support their current or future pursuits.
Fish or Farm Assist recipients would not typically be included in the cohort of customers for invite to recruitment events however some may have received the invitation in error. There is no obligation on these customers to attend these events, though they are welcome to attend if they wish. I trust this clarifies the matter.
