Other groups to be targeted include people with disabilities, those who have lost their jobs later in their working lives and members of the Traveller community.Weddings, rent and houses: What are the tax implications of a range of gifts to children?Ms Humphreys said the initiative would provide personalised supports to some 50,000 people who are long-term unemployed many of who have already been contacted by the department’s Intreo employment services about engagement.
“The youth unemployment rate is at about 8.8 per cent, which is down from about 12 per cent pre-Covid. But what we want to do is help people back into work and while there are barriers there that some people face we want to work with them. “A lot will depend on how it is rolled out and how widely it is taken up,” she said, “but it has potential to help some of the people who are currently very distant from the workplace, perhaps because they need an employer to appreciate they might need particular supports or things like pre-employment training.”
