Minister Donohoe announces further economic supports for businesses as they re-openFrom Department of FinancePublished on 1 June 2021Following the Government meeting today (Tuesday), the Minister for Finance, Paschal Donohoe, T.D., has announced the following set of measures to provide support to businesses as they re-open and resume normal trading:• The extension of the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme to 31 December 2021;• The extension and enhancement of the Covid Restrictions Support Scheme to provide additional support to businesses upon re-opening and to give certainty to businesses still directly affected by public health restrictions;• A new additional business support scheme (Business Resumption Support Scheme or BRSS) for businesses with reduced turnover as a result of public health restrictions to be implemented in September 2021;• The extension of the tax debt warehousing scheme to allow the period where liabilities arising can be “warehoused” to be extended to the end of 2021 for all eligible taxpayers, with an interest-free period during 2022, and to include overpayments of EWSS in the scheme;• The Government agreed to the drafting of legislation to provide for these measures.These measures will provide certainty to businesses as public health restrictions are lifted and allow them to plan for the future as they re-open and resume normal trading.Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme:The EWSS continues to represent a substantial and key part of the Government response to the Covid-19 pandemic, supporting businesses, encouraging employment, and helping to maintain the link between employers and employees.As of the week ending 27 May, a total of €3.835 billion has been spent under the scheme of which €3.293 billion relates to direct subsidies and €0.542 billion relates to Employers’ PRSI foregone.For Q3, the Government has decided to broadly maintain the status quo for EWSS, including the enhanced rates of support and the reduced rate of Employers’ PRSI with a modification to widen eligibility.For Q4, the Government has approved the extension of the EWSS, however, it is considered too early yet to prescribe the precise operational parameters of the scheme that should apply for that quarter, and decisions in that regard would be taken closer to the time around the end of August / early September.Covid Restrictions Support Scheme:The Covid Restriction Support Scheme (CRSS) has been an extremely successful intervention by the Government to provide support to businesses whose customers are prevented from accessing their premises because of Public Health restrictions.The CRSS in its current form will be continued to the end of 2021 for the reducing number of businesses that are still directly affected by public health restrictions that may remain in place. The qualification criteria and payment rates will remain unchanged.The Government will also provide for an enhanced restart week payment – a single payment of three double weeks to businesses upon re-opening (subject to a maximum of €30,000). This will provide additional support to the businesses in restocking and making the necessary preparations to welcome their customers back in a safe manner.This enhanced restart payment is intended to incentivise them to exit the scheme and return to trading as early as possible.Business Resumption Support Scheme:As the economy re-opens, a further scheme is being introduced for vulnerable but viable businesses, particularly in sectors that were significantly impacted throughout the pandemic, even during periods when restrictions were eased.Businesses whose turnover is reduced by 75% in the reference period (1 September 2020 to 31 August 2021) compared with 2019 will be eligible. The scheme will not be restricted by location, rate-paying, or physical premises. It is expected that there will be a limited number of such businesses and recognised that it is important that such businesses are supported.Businesses who previously availed of other schemes such as SBASC and the Tourism Business Continuity Scheme for example as well as CRSS will be eligible to apply provided they meet the qualifying criteria.The BRSS will be administered by Revenue and will operate in a similar way to CRSS.Tax Warehousing:The tax debt warehousing scheme has provided approximately €2.3 billion of liquidity to Irish businesses at a time that they need it most. The scheme is now being extended to the end of this year, with no interest during 2022 and interest at a reduced rate of 3% thereafter.Speaking on the overall package of measures, the Minister said“The Government and I have committed on multiple occasions that there will be no “cliff-edge” to supports for business. We are now taking decisive actions to provide businesses with clarity and certainty on their situation as they reopen, as far as it is possible to do so with the uncertain situation in relation to public health.”Official link; <a href="https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/63fc8-minister-donohoe-announces-further-economic-supports-for-businesses-as-they-re-open/">https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/63fc8-minister-donohoe-announces-further-economic-supports-for-businesses-as-they-re-open/</a>

<h1>Minister Harris and Minister Collins announce €20 million capital funding to expand apprenticeship provision across further and higher education</h1>From Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Published on 26 March 2021Last updated on 26 March 2021Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris TD and Minister of State for Skills and Further Education Niall Collins TD have today (Friday) announced the roll-out of €20 million in capital funding to respond to the growing demand for apprenticeships.The funding will allow for a significant expansion in electrical, plumbing and carpentry places, and additional COVID-related capacity in electrical, plumbing, hairdressing and pipefitting places.Minister Harris said:<blockquote>&quot;Today’s investment of €20 million, to be provided via SOLAS and the Higher Education Authority (HEA), will fund the delivery of almost 4,000 additional craft apprentice places annually across further and higher education - helping to catch up on the lost provision in 2020, and to support the target increase of 1,450 registrations across all apprenticeships in 2021.</blockquote><blockquote>&quot;This investment reaffirms the government’s strong commitment to enhancing and expanding the apprenticeship system. Access to cutting edge equipment is key to positioning apprenticeships as a valued and attractive path to sought-after qualifications. A strong pipeline of craft apprentices is also critical in sustaining the construction sector and delivering on our ambitious national infrastructure plans.</blockquote><blockquote>&quot;The government will shortly consider a new Action Plan for Apprenticeships. It will set out new ways of structuring, funding and promoting apprenticeships, with a target of 10,000 new apprenticeship registrations per year by 2025. This compares with a 2019 registration figure of 6,177. We have huge ambitions in this area.&quot;</blockquote>Minister Collins said:<blockquote>&quot;As with other parts of our education and training system, the apprenticeship system experienced significant disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By supporting additional apprenticeship places, the investment announced today will go some way towards mitigating the impacts of the pandemic, including requirements for smaller class sizes due to social distancing, and will also facilitate expansion for the longer term.</blockquote><blockquote>&quot;The forthcoming Action Plan will set out to place apprenticeships at the centre of the education and training system, increase the attractiveness of the programme to employers and learners of all ages, and ensure that the apprentice population is reflective of the general workforce in respect of diversity as well.&quot;</blockquote>The expansion of the national apprenticeship system has been a key government priority since 2016.Craft apprenticeship is currently being delivered using blended learning, due to the extended Level 5 restrictions; however, a phased return to onsite training has begun in recent weeks.The €20m will be allocated by SOLAS and the HEA across Education and Training Boards (ETBs), Institutes of Technology and Technological Universities.

Did you know that you don’t need to speak Irish to get a Civil Servant job &amp; you don’t always have to be Irish either. You certainly don’t need to “know” someone and not all roles require a college degree. So what are the Myths and how do you get a job with a Civil Service Role?<h2>Myth Busters about getting a Job with the Civil Service</h2> Myth 1: Do you need to be an Irish citizen to be a Civil Servant?False: The vast majority of roles in the Civil and Public Service are open to European Economic Area (EEA) citizens. There are some roles where you have to be an Irish Citizen such as roles in the Diplomatic Stream of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. For information in relation to a specific campaign you will need to refer to the information booklet for that campaign.Myth 2: Do you need to know someone in order to get into the Civil Service? False: Recruitment campaigns are open, objective and fair and we pride ourselves in ensuring that everyone is treated to the same professional, high standards at all stages of the process. All candidates are asked to complete the same standardised assessments, whether it be tests, exercises or an interview, and all candidates are scored in an objective and standardised manner. So bottom line, everyone is treated the same regardless of &#x27;who you are&#x27; or &#x27;who you know&#x27;. Any candidate that is successful, is successful based entirely on their own merit.Myth 3: Do you have to be fresh out of college (within 3 years) to apply for Civil Service Roles?False: There are no time or age limits on being an applicant for the Civil Service. For some roles like Administrative Officer role you may be required to hold a first or second class honours degree, but there are other roles that do not require college degrees.Myth 4: Do you need to speak Irish to apply for the Civil Service?False: Being able to speak Irish or have an Irish language qualification is NOT a requirement to apply for a role in the Civil Service. Although, if you are an Irish speaker, there are a number of specific opportunities to work with Irish across the Civil Service. In addition, across many roles, if you do speak Irish or have Irish language skills, you may find there is a demand for your assistance from colleagues in your Department/Office.Myth 5: Once placed in a Department, are you there for life?False: Mobility is very important in the career path of a Civil Servant. It is a fast paced environment with quite a bit of movement, people coming in, moving up and moving across. Regularly, there are opportunities arising within and across Departments and Offices, where people can build new experiences, skills and develop their career. <h2>Other Information about Civil Service Jobs</h2> How can I get a job in the public sector and civil service?There are set procedures for the selection process for civil service and public sector jobs. All public sector jobs have to be advertised in the public domain. This includes newspapers as well as government websites such as the Public Appointments Service and the the Northern Ireland Civil Service recruitment website.For those who are interested in traineeships, the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) organises competitions for roles within EU institutions. These include jobs as administrators, economists, conference interpreters, translators and lawyers with EU institutions. For example, you can apply for a traineeship at the European Commission. These traineeships are offered twice a year and competition is fierce. What are the different areas of work?Each area in the public and civil service concentrates on a specific area of policy or service, such as education, transport, pensions or fraud investigation, and employs people for their specialist knowledge.In the civil service, you may work in a Government Department. Departments are headed by a minister or, in the case of non-ministerial departments, by a senior civil servant. These departments are responsible for devising policies and ensuring that they are implemented.Another area where you may find yourself working is in a government agency: an independent organisation that carries out the policies decided upon by government. You may also find yourself working in non-departmental public bodies, such as a regional development agency and national authority. These are not part of government departments and are not staffed by civil servants. What are the salaries in the public sector and civil service?Salaries are dependent on your entry level and normally increase depending on your length of service. Grade titles and scales vary depending on where you work in the public sector. What qualifications and skills do I need to work in the public sector and civil service?You may need a first or second class honours degree. For European traineeships, you will need fluency in an additional European language. The specific skills needed will depend on the area you are working in, but general skills you will find useful are problem solving skills, communication (written and verbal), teamwork and an ability to work on your own initiative and take ownership of projects. For some jobs, you may also need research and analytical skills and a strong numerical ability. What are the opportunities for professional development?The public sector and civil service jobs have set grades which you move up, based on your length of service. There are also opportunities to move internally within the public service, gaining more responsibility and money along the way.There is no typical career path, however, because of the diverse nature of the profession and the range of jobs, roles and departments. People will tend to pursue different routes, depending on their own strengths and interests. Movement between internal departments and between different local councils/authorities is quite common and can be a good way of gaining broader experience and advancing your career. It is possible to work your way up into senior management positions, although promotion depends not only on your ability, but also the size of the organisation and the frequency of vacancies. What is working life like?Some jobs may involve spending days in an office, mainly in front of a computer; some will include lots of meetings with clients; others might be spent outdoors with a group of visitors. If you like variety in your work, you can choose a position that encompasses a range of tasks. Depending on your role you may need to work after hours, but the normal working time is 9.00–5.00.Public sector workplaces are usually unionised and you can expect good conditions of employment with opportunities for flexible working arrangements, career breaks and job sharing. There are often good training opportunities and encouragement for furthering your education, including study and exam leave. There is generally better job security than in the private sector.  All Public Jobs currently open, can be found <a href="https://www.publicjobs.ie/en/job-search" target="_blank">HERE </a>

Myth Busters about getting a Job with the Civil Service

Aspiring doctors could qualify without a medical degree to help those already working in healthcare to train while they work<ul><li>Proposals could see nurses train to become doctors while they are also working</li><li>Senior medics are drawing up the scheme to increase accessibility and diversity</li><li>Student doctors warn programme will &#x27;inadvertently create a two-tier system&#x27;</li> </ul>Aspiring doctors could qualify without doing a medical degree under proposals being drawn up by health officials.The &#x27;medical doctor apprenticeship&#x27; would help those already working in healthcare, such as nurses or assistants, to train as doctors while they work.Health bosses, medical schools and the General Medical Council regulator are developing the programme, which is aimed at widening access to medicine.Currently students have to spend five or six years at medical school doing an expensive degree, including three years of clinical placements, to become doctors.Critics say this restricts entry to the profession to mainly middle-class and well-educated youngsters.The new apprenticeships would cover the same curriculum as degrees but would be intended to make the profession more accessible and diverse.Professor Wendy Reid, from the Health Education England training body, told the Health Service Journal: &#x27;The [difference between an apprenticeship and a degree] will be that people will be working alongside learning, so very similar to traditional apprenticeships where if you are older or you have commitments where you can&#x27;t suddenly go off and spend five or six years as a [student], then this is a way of learning differently. At the moment this will suit people who have been in work for some time, either in a health service related role or indeed in other work.&#x27; Under the plans, when medical doctor apprentices have completed their training they will be put on the medical register by the GMC. But the scheme is likely to prove controversial.When student members of doctors&#x27; union the British Medical Association were asked for their views on the proposals, one said: &#x27;[Medical training] is an apprenticeship as much as it can be already, because you&#x27;ve got two or three years of preclinical studies and then three years of clinical studies where you&#x27;re on placement all the time.&#x27;It&#x27;ll inadvertently create a two-tier system, reminiscent of barber surgeons and physicians, and undo the work that&#x27;s been done on widening participation – effectively making medical school only an option for those from wealthy backgrounds.&#x27;But a BMA spokesman said: &#x27;Proposals for a medical doctor apprenticeship that results in doctors educated and trained to the same high standards as current studentships are interesting and worthy of consideration.&#x27; Read another article about this subject <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/03/12/controversial-plan-could-see-doctors-without-degree-learning/" target="_blank">HERE</a>

JYSK Hiring

<h1>A Japanese billionaire is looking for 8 people to join him on a SpaceX moon flight</h1>Yusaku Maezawa, the online fashion tycoon needs to fill eight spare seats on the lunar spaceship being developed by SpaceX. It’s the sort of chance that comes along just once in a blue moon.In 2018 it was announced that Yusaku was the first man to book a spot aboard the lunar spaceship being developed by SpaceX. At the time he paid an undisclosed sum for the trip which was expected to launch in 2023 at the earliest.On Wednesday, in a video posted on his Twitter account, he revealed the application process. “I’m inviting you to join me on this mission. Eight of you from all around the world.&quot; “I have bought all the seats, so it will be a private ride,” he added.The Japanese entrepreneur said applicants would need to fulfil just two criteria: being ready to “push the envelope” creatively, and being willing to help other crew members do the same.In all, he said around 10 to 12 people will be on board the spaceship, which is expected to loop around the moon before returning to Earth.The application timeline for spots on the trip calls for would-be space travellers to pre-register by 14 March, with initial screening carried out by 21 March.No deadlines are given for the next stages – an “assignment” and an online interview – but final interviews and medical checkups are currently scheduled for late May 2021, according to Maezawa’s website.Maezawa and his band of astronauts will become the first lunar voyagers since the last US Apollo mission in 1972 – if SpaceX can pull the trip off.Unfortunately though, last month a prototype of its Starship crashed in a fireball as it tried to land upright after a test flight, the second such accident, after the last prototype of the Starship met a similar fate in December.But the company hopes the reusable, 394-foot (120-metre) rocket system will one day carry crew and cargo to the moon, Mars and beyond.“I’m highly confident that we will have reached orbit many times with Starship before 2023 and that it will be safe enough for human transport by 2023. It’s looking very promising,” SpaceX founder Elon Musk said in Maezawa’s video posted Wednesday.The mission will be the first private space flight beyond Earth’s orbit, Musk said.Because it will not land on the moon, but loop behind it, “we expect people will go further than any human has ever gone from planet Earth,” he added.Maezawa, known for his eccentric comments and extravagant lifestyle including a penchant for pricey art, was last year valued around $1.9 billion, making him one of Japan’s richest people.He made his fortune as founder of online fashion store Zozo, which he sold to Yahoo! Japan in 2019.These are the steps to apply for a seat on Starship as part of the dearMoon ProjectSTEP1: Pre-registration (by March 14th 6:59 AM PST)STEP2: Initial Screening (by March 21st 6:59 AM PST)STEP3: AssignmentSTEP4: Online InterviewSTEP5: Final Interview and Medical Checkup (Late May 2021)About the dearMoon ProjectThe first civilian mission to fly by the Moon is planned to take place no earlier than 2023. The Starship rocket developed by Elon Musk&#x27;s SpaceX will make a week-long journey to the Moon and back. In 2018, Japanese Entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa purchased all the seats aboard this rocket. Wishing to give as many talented individuals as possible the opportunity to go, he announced in March 2021 his plans to choose 8 crew members from across the world.
