People who receive statutory redundancy are exempt from the qualifying periods outlined earlier, so can access education programmes sooner than others on the live register.
Is it correct that someone who has worked for many years, made redundant and is on dole (PRSI dole) is not entitled to go back to education until a certain time period has elapsed? A relation of mine was told they couldn't get approval from social welfare as they were about 7 days short. What is this rule about? Surely if people are trying to retrain, in a period when there are few jobs that they should be supported. Is there a way around this rule?
Just to reply to my original query here, the head of the college of education was fuming at the carry on with social welfare. But the person applying for the BTE ultimately fell foul of another rule. If you've already got qualifications at a certain level then you cannot retrain at something that's lower. Gipiman might know the rule better than me.
There are no jobs in the area the person was qualified but loads in the area of no qualification. After 2 or 3 years they would be able to walk into a job. Now they're twiddling their thumbs.
