Sinn Féin is calling for an end to the JobPath scheme. The party claims two private companies who run the scheme make money on the back of jobseekers. "The mandatory nature of JobPath and the referrals to JobPath need to cease. "We want to see the schemes that do work, the likes of the Community Employment Schemes, the Job Clubs and, indeed, the local employment services, we want those funded and expanded." "Many people who have participated in JobPath will tell you that what they get from it [is] nothing in comparison to engaging with the likes of the adult guidance services, the local employment services or community employment.
