The JobBridge internship programme is provided by the Department to assist jobseekers enter or re-enter the labour market. It is specifically confined to unemployed people in receipt of Jobseekers Allowance, Jobseekers Benefit and jobseekers who are signing for social insurance contribution credits, for a period of 3 months or more.
The person referred to is not eligible to participate on the JobBridge programme as she is not in receipt of JA, JB or signing for credits.
