Tus - Only available to non-profits?

Hey all,


Quick question about Tús; just wondering does anyone know if I'd be right in saying that the only people who can avail of the scheme have to be non-profit/charities agencies (and an actual employer/company can't take people on through it)?


I know internships and Work Placements via FAS are with actual companies that turn a profit, but unsure about Tús.


Cheers.

You are correct, no companies, and have to be non profit schemes for the community
