The government plan will also see recruitment subsidies of up to €10,000 for employers who take people off the live register.
A special package of supports for young people aiming to reduce youth unemployment from 44% to 12.5% by 2023 is also expected to be part of the plan, alongside 50,000 further and higher education training places, a €1,000 Training Support Grant for jobseekers and a new pay-related jobseekers payment.
The scheme, which was launched on Monday at the Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Training Centre of Excellence in Dundalk, is also hoping to provide remote working options to participants of work placement, education and training schemes.
