The Local Employment Services (LES) provide a one-to-one employment assistance and advice service for the long-term unemployed.

My Department currently contracts with a range of providers for the provision of Local Employment Services. Each contract stipulates the duration of the contract which is for a period of 12 months. The current contracts are in place from 01 January 2021 and are due to expire on the 31 December 2021.
