Work Placement Programme, What is it?

The FÁS Work Placement Programme provides nine months’ work experience for unemployed people and graduates. There are two streams: Stream 1 provides 1,000 places for graduates and Stream 2 provides 1,000 places for unemployed people (with 250 of these places reserved for people under 34). Placements are allocated to each FÁS region according to the number of people on the Live Register in that region. Placements are allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

You can register with FÁS at any local FÁS Employment Service Office or Local Employment Service Office (LES).
