Community Employment (CE)

Community Employment (C.E.) is an employment programme which helps unemployed people to re-enter the active workforce by breaking their experience of unemployment through a return-to-work routine.

The programme assists them to enhance and develop both their technical and personal skills which can then be used in the workplace.

Participants can work in a number of areas inc. Childcare, Household, Clerical, Domestic and Maintenance.  Recruitment is on-going throughout the year.
