What is Community Employment and what are the Objectives?

• The CE programme is sponsored by groups who benefit the local community, namely voluntary Organisations and public bodies involved in not-for-profit activities.
• The aim of CE is to enhance the employability and mobility of disadvantaged and unemployed persons by providing work experience and training opportunities for them within their communities. In addition, it helps long-term unemployed people to re-enter the active workforce by breaking their experience of unemployment through a return to work routine.
• The Department’s priority in supporting CE is having access to schemes that can provide job seekers and other vulnerable groups with good quality work experience and training qualifications to support their progression into employment.
