Sligo Leitrim Local Area Employment Service (LAES)

Sligo Leitrim Local Area Employment Service is managed by Sligo LEADER Partnership and Leitrim Development Company.

The LAES is a new service funded by the Department of Social Protection which will be focused primarily on long term unemployed clients farthest from the labour market with barriers to labour market participation. This service forms part of the additional Public Employment Service capacity required to deliver on Pathways to Work 2021 – 2025 strategy.

What we do

Our clients are referred to the service by the Department of Social Protection and we work with each client to support and assist them into employment. Our clients remain with the service for a period of 52 weeks.

Employers

• We work intensively with clients to identity a suitable job to match their skills, identify training needs and provide pre-employment training
• In Employment Support: When a client secures a job with an employer, LAES will provide 17 weeks in-employment support (or longer if necessary).
• Provide information on existing employer incentives (e.g., Jobs Plus) and new Government initiatives and recruitment incentives
• Provide a free advertising service for your Job Vacancies. Sligo LEADER Partnership and Leitrim Development Company both have weekly Jobs Bulletins which are advertised widely on social media and company websites.
