West Wicklow Community Employment 1.5

The aim of Community Employment is to enhance the employ-ability and mobility of disadvantaged and unemployed persons by providing work experience and training opportunities for them within their communities.
In addition it helps long-term unemployed people to re-enter the active workforce by breaking their experience of unemployment through a return to work routine.
CE projects are typically sponsored by groups wishing to benefit the local community,namely voluntary and community organisations and, to a lesser extent, public bodies involved in not-for-profit activities. Such projects provide a valuable service to local communities while at the same time providing training and educational opportunities to job seekers.
