    A journalist is currently undertaking some research related to the JobPath employment programme and is anxious to speak to:

    a) staff members, current or former, of either of the two JobPath companies

    b) clients, current or former, who would be happy to share their experiences of the programme.

    All information will be treated in confidence.

    Please email: jobresearcher40@gmail.com

    Tell them to look st the thousands of complaints and submissions made to the Sin Fein office across the road from Seetec in Swords. Or to look at the tens of thosdands of online complaints and PM the posters in the multiples of threads about it here over the years.

    There is a job online advertised on IrishJobs.ie for a Seetec worker ( recruitment & client advisor for jobseekers) that says much - minimum wage of up to 27k, no experience required, minimum 4 Ds in leaving cert. Given this and their huge turnover of staff every few months its hardly surprising both enforced slave labour workers and jobseekers find them and their enforced private profit driven 'services' as poor as they are.

    As regards an unknown journalist or researcher with an unknown alias email - can they not man up and say who they are and who they are working for - might give them some credibility and their subjects some confidence in them. After all, actual journalists sources are supposed to be protected. This could be anyone.

    Thajnks for the response Just A Thought. The journalist is not unknown, I knoe who they are but an undercover investigation is pretty pointless if you put your name and details out there in connection with a story before it's written, I'd have thought.

    PMing/coldcalling users is not permitted which is why journalists, if they want to engage with the Boards community, are encouraged to contact us first. I'm sure the journalist is following the thread and will take your other points on board if it's not something they've already looked at but they are primarily looking for people with first hand experience to speak with.
