Fas engineering experience

    FAS have a scheme for graduates that if you've been unemployed for six months and in receipt of social welfare you can go on (unpaid) work experience with a company for 6 months but still keep claiming the dole.
    Companies interested in taking part get in contact with FAS and the position is then advertised on the FAS website. at the moment there are little or no engineering positions on offer.

    I will be an engineering graduate (graduated 2008, Mech. Eng.) and unemployed for 6 months in two weeks now and my plan was to contact HR in different engineering companies to see if they would be interested in advertising for this scheme so i can apply for the position.

    my query was is anybody else familiar with this scheme and what would be the correct way of contacting and suggesting to companies about them making positions available for the FAS work experience.

    my workplace is involved in this scheme. I saw the details in their weekly news letter, but cant remember them off hand. But im fairly sure the only contact details were a fas person, i want to say it was a bishopstown address.

    You should be able to get an answer to your question at this meeting tomorrow.

    FAS Employment Services' representatives will attend the Half a Loaf Networking Meeting tomorrow at the CYM in Terenure. They will make a presentation on the services which FAS provide to job seekers, the eligibility criteria and how to access these services. They agreed to attend and make the presenation at the request of our group as in our experience, both from the network meetings and from posting on the website, most job seekers have no idea what services are available and how to access them.

    Do come and bring a friend - all are welcome

    CYMS
    54 Terenure Road North, next to the Daily Star offices.

    The public car park is approximatly 100 yds away,
    (this is the car park that Noel O'Gara of Darthmouth Square fame is now laying a claim to!)


    The 16, 16s and 49 buses stop opposite the entrance to the CYM.
    The 15, 15a and 65 stop outside the RC Church (St Joseph) on the Terenure Road East which is less than 10 minutes walk away.
