Job Initiative Programme The Job Initiative is a programme providing full-time employment for people who are 35 years of age or over, unemployed for 5 years or more, and in receipt of social welfare payments over that period. Following changes introduced to the Job Initiative scheme by the Minister for Enterprise Trade and Employment in late 2004, there is currently no recruitment onto the scheme while existing participants will have their contracts renewed. The main purpose of the programme is to assist long-term unemployed people to prepare for work opportunities.

Scéim Tús Nua Díríonn an scéim Tús Nua ar fhostaíocht lán aimsire a chur ar fail do dhaoine atá os cionn 35 bliain d’aois agus a bhí dífhostaithe le breis agus cuig bliana agus iad ag fáil liúntas dífhostaíochta le linn an tréimhse sin. De bharr athruithe a rinne an tAire Fiontar, Trádála agus Fostaíochta i 2004, tá cosc ar earcaíocht ar an scéim, cé go ndéantar conraithe na rannpháirtithe reatha a athnuachan. Is í aidhm na scéime tacú le daoine a bhí dífhostaithe ar feadh tréimhse fada a ullmhú le dul i mbun deiseanna oibre.
