Help for jobseekers to set up in business

A TRAINING course for unemployed people interested in starting their own business in the tourism and hospitality industry will begin in Waterford next month.

The programme, run by Waterford Chamber’s Skillnet with the support of Waterford Area Partnership, will be funded under a new initiative, the JobSeekers Support Programme.

The programme “aims to increase the employability of jobseekers by providing them with skills which would allow them to re-enter their previous sector of employment or transfer into alternative sectors”, according to Waterford Chamber.
