Unemployed training scheme already working

A NEW training programme to help the unemployed get back to work aims to give people the skills and confidence to plan for the future.

Young out-of-work people who are qualified to Junior Certificate level or below can join the JobFit scheme, which includes work placements, tailored guidance and nationally recognised qualifications.

Angela Kerins, of the Rehab Group which support the project scheme, said JobFit was a flexible, supportive programme, which helped people to identify and play to their strengths.
