Project to help 25 unemployed people into work cost £100k

A project to help 25 of the Island's long-term unemployed back into work has cost around £100,000.

The figures were given by Treasury Minister Alex Allinson in response to a question for written reply from Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper.

The six-month Making Work Worthwhile pilot provides psychological support , career mentoring, and skills training.

Dr Allinson said its effectiveness would be judged after the programme had ended.
