Welcome to the 36 th edition of the INOU’s E-bulletin
In this edition we look at the INOU’s education and training programme for people who are long-term unemployed: Building Futures ; and a transnational project called SkillsMatch in which the INOU will play an active part. Our focus on an INOU affiliated organisation is on Doras Buí . A piece from Crosscare focuses on their report ‘Do You Speak English?’ There is a piece on the ‘gig economy’; a report on the Future Jobs Summit ; and an update on the INOU’s JobsWatch. On the policy front we highlight SILC 2017; Educational Attainment Report 2018; and recent Government announcements including Community Employment and Springboard+ 2019 . There is also an article looking at unemployment over a twenty year period. And finally we have articles from Samaritans Ireland seeking to recruit volunteers; and from Friends of the Earth on their 12-step programme to quit fossil fuels.
