JobPath the first 52 weeks and my recall to a second term on JobPath, blogged in real time This blog, my first, will in general aim to document the program and specifically my experiences on JobPath. Protecting their identities you will meet the other job seekers and staff, will there be villains and hero’s or stale biscuits and tea? The blog will be anonymous because I’m not sure how DSP or Seetec will feel about the real time, real person, review. If you have been invited to attend JobPath for the first, second or even third time, this blog, my first, will in general aim to document the program and specifically my experiences on JobPath.

Jump To Comment: 1Program was a failure in UK, even before the Irish government decided to implement it.
I guess they were just in such an ideological rush to hand out taxpayers money to private companies
that they never even bothered to research it for 5 minutes on google!!

This village article was interesting!

Seetec are a company known for their work in prisoner rehabilitation in the UK.
I guess that says something about what our government think of the unemployed!
Regardless of whether there are useless programs like this running, when there is half decent work available
most Irish unemployed people will go out and get jobs. The figures show this clearly.
They really don't need to be patronised like this!
So why do our political class continue to waste loads of our tax money on useless programs like this?
Especially given their terrible record in the UK?
