JobPath is an employment advisory and assistance service that is a payment by results model and all set-up and day-to-day operational costs are borne by the companies. The companies are paid on the basis of performance and with the exception of the initial registration fee; payments are made only when a client has achieved sustained employment. The overall cost of JobPath will be determined by the number of people who participate in the programme and the number who get sustainable jobs.
The gross total expenditure on JobPath in 2021 was €34m.
Please note this is gross expenditure and does not take into account the savings made in welfare payments for those who secured sustained employment.
