The Local Employment Services (LES) engages primarily with long-term unemployed jobseekers, but may also engage with short-term unemployed jobseekers where a local need arises. Jobseekers are referred directly to the LES by Intreo offices. LES maximum caseloads per mediators (120:1) are agreed for each contract and jobseekers are referred to LES offices on a replacement basis only.
The following table reflects the numbers of activation customers who attended/engaged with the Local Employment Service, by provider, in 2017 and to end of June 2018. The engagement period can last for up to12 months. The Department records when a customer attends/engages with the LES service, some of the numbers below may include those persons who were referred towards the end of 2016 and 2017, but who attended/engaged with the service in the following year. The numbers are reflective of the volume of new customers who will have received activation assistance from the LES service in 2017 and to date in 2018.
