Community Employment

Community Employment (CE) schemes provide training and work experience, primarily to long-term unemployed people and those on both Disability and One Parent Family Payments. Those on CE, work an average of 19.5 hours per week (or 39 hours per fortnight). CE is divided into 2 options; a CE Part-time Integration Option and a CE Part-time Option. Both options have different eligibilty rules and conditions.
