IBEC job creation plan calls for ‘radical and decisive steps’

A WORK placement scheme for the unemployed, major reform of state employment services and a substantial loan guarantee scheme for SMEs feature prominently in a new job creation plan submitted to Government by employers’ representative body, IBEC.

The organisation is looking for the Government to take “radical and decisive” steps in order to tackle the jobs crisis and restore confidence.

IBEC’s director general, Danny McCoy, said a new approach to job creation is “desperately needed”.
