JobBridge provides work experience placements for interns for a 6 month or 9 month period. Its aim is to assist in breaking the cycle where jobseekers are unable to get a job without experience, either as new entrants to the labour market after education or training or as unemployed workers wishing to learn new skills
Interns will receive an allowance of €50 per week on top of their social welfare entitlement. This will be payable for the period of the internship.
