Participants of JobPath do not have access to the Training Support Grant (TSG) provided by the Department. However, the JobPath companies will on a case by case basis provide similar funding.
JobPath providers have their own discretionary funds available to pay for training or other interventions; the decision to approve or reject any request for funding is solely at the discretion of the JobPath provider. Turas Nua had agreed to contribute a proportion of the cost of this training from their discretionary training fund.
I can confirm that the person concerned has been engaged with JobPath since 14/07/2021 and is due to complete the programme in 12 weeks. If the customer remains on a jobseeker’s payment at that time, he will be referred back to Intreo services and may apply and be assessed for the Training Support Grant at this point.
