Working for Work : Chapter 1 : Social Welfare Payments

Short Time Working Training Programme

The pilot Short Time Working Training Programme, administered by FÁS will provide two days training a week for 277 workers over a 52-week period. Under this scheme, workers who are on systematic short time working for 3-days a week and receiving social welfare payments for the two days they are not working will receive training for these two days.

Participants on this programme will continue to receive their existing social welfare entitlements from the Department of Social Protection. Contact your local FÁS office for more information.
