Ferdia Job Club is a joint initiative between Ferdia Community Development Company Ltd, a local voluntary group, and Employment Support Services, Department of Social Protection. Its objective is to assist jobseekers to enter or re-enter, employment through the provision of individualised support and assistance in pursuing employment opportunities. It is a free service and assists job seekers through a number of supports. These comprise of a ‘drop-in’ service, formal workshops and ‘one to one’ support.
The formal workshops provide a forum for clients to get together in a friendly, relaxed confidential environment. They encourage and support individual skills and talents which in turn stimulates confidence building resulting in more positive decision-making going into the future. The Job Club empowers job seekers to take positive steps towards realising their career plans and to explore, and follow-up, employment opportunities.
The Job Club provides active, practical and participative support to job seekers under the guidance and supervision of the Job Club Leader/Facilitator. Ferdia Job Club has been in operation since 2001 providing support for those within the greater Ardee/Mid-Louth area who are either unemployed or wishing to return to the workforce.
To date (over 17 years in operation) we have assisted approx. 4,000 individuals, mainly word of mouth referrals who sought support and professional help in seeking employment. Over 50% have had successful placements and returned to work. Other participants have been energised to undertake further studies to progress their career goals and job opportunities.
