Job Clubs

Job Clubs provide training to assist participants who are ready for work, to develop skills which they can use to find a job. This active, practical and participative process takes place under the guidance and supervision of the Job Club leader. Learn more about the Aims and Benefits of a Job Club.

Anyone who is ready to work and is between 16 and 64 years of age can join a Job Club. Participants do not have to be on a social welfare payment but if they are, it will not be affected by becoming a member of a Job Club.

The training topics range from health and safety to interview techniques and last up to 5 weeks (see Course Content and Duration).

Job Club participants retain their social welfare allowances during the training modules and receive €20 per week to help in dealing with additional costs.
