Minister for Social Protection

As of 25 April 2013, 16,791 people had commenced JobBridge internships, 6,030 participants were currently on JobBridge internships and 2,443 internship opportunities were advertised on the JobBridge website. I am advised that the firm to which the Deputy refers is already advertising internships under another name.
