In December, in light of the then continuing uncertainty arising from the labour market impacts of Covid-19 and in recognition of the extended period of consultation with stakeholders, it was agreed to extend all current contracted employment service providers contracts, including the Local Employment Service, Job Clubs and JobPath providers until the end of June 2022.
This measure was taken in order to ensure that the public employment service has sufficient capacity to support those impacted by the pandemic with access to employment services.
The referral of clients to the JobPath service will therefore cease at the end of June 2022. However, there will then be a run-off period to enable existing clients to complete their employment service engagement.
