From JobBridge to BTEA direct transfer between those schemes

    Hi friends,

    I have a question in relation to the transfer from Internship scheme (JobBridge) into the BTEA, and I hope someone might help me.

    My question is: May a period spent on an ongoing Internship Scheme (JobBridge) count towards the qualifying period for the Back to Education Allownace (BTEA)?

    and

    The most importantly: May I access the BTEA Scheme directly from the Internship Scheme (JobBridge) while I am still on the Internship? I mean, may I leave the Internship voluntarily before it ends in order to directly apply for the BTEA.

    I was getting Jobseekers Benefit for 10 months immediately before I commenced my Internship (JobBridge), which means that I am entitled to the BTEA, but I cannot find any information on whether I will be penalised or refused social welfare payments if I voluntarily leave the Internship scheme before it ends. Hmm..


    Thank you's for you advice!
