Listen "Clare Employment Support Service Brands State Work Experience Model "Unrealistic""
Episode Synopsis
A Clare employment support service has told an Oireachtas committee that the work experience model for people with disabilities isn't fit for purpose.
EmployAbility Clare is seeking the introduction of a programme that would allow those with a disability, health condition or additional support needs to work eight hours a week to "build confidence".
The current Work Placement Experience Programme requires all participants to complete 30 hours per week.
Speaking in the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Disability Matters, Marie Killeen of EmployAbility Clare says it's "unrealistic" for many people.
