Local Employment Service (LES)

The Limerick Local Employment Service (LES) provides a free and confidential information, guidance and job-searching support to job-seekers.

Our goal is to provide a range of quality professional services to unemployed jobseekers to help them find suitable employment, training and educational opportunities.

We work with both job-seekers and employers.

We provide a free mediation service whereby a client works with an assigned mediator who will support them, on a one-to-one basis, to progress along a path to employment, education, or training.  We can provide:

• Career guidance and planning
• Referrals to education and training courses
• Referrals to Community Employment Schemes or the Tús Programme
• Funding assistance for specific training (Qualification criteria applies)
• Technical skills training in applying for jobs online

The service is available to anyone who has a valid PPS number, permission to work in Ireland and not currently engaged with Turas Nua services.
