Job Activation - Protecting the Not For Profit Model
This document outlines Sinn Féin’s proposals to protect the not-for-profit, community-based model of the Local Employment Services (LES) and Job Clubs in response to the government’s shocking decision to continue with the tender for a new for-profit employment service model which could push people into unsuitable, short-term positions. Instead, Sinn Féin propose scaling up existing employment services to ensure areas which do not currently have LES or Job Clubs can avail of these high-quality services, integrating Job Clubs into the current model of LES, and continuing community-based wrap-around supports in order to ensure the availability of decent employment services for all.
