Key Project Community Employment Scheme

Community Employment schemes are Active Labour Market Programmes funded by DSP. These schemes provide training and work experience, primarily to long-term unemployed people with some other groups of people who are also eligible. Those on the CE work for an 19.5 hours per week. Jobs are advertised locally and on various job vacancies websites. You can apply for a CE position through your local Intreo Office, directly to the CE Scheme.
