Do you want a job?
Do you want to stay in Ireland but feel you have no choice but to leave?
Are you fed up living at home with your parents but can’t afford to move out?
Do you want to put your skills and education to work?
Are you sick of a government that cares more about bankers than it does about youth unemployment?
Do you think it’s unfair that you have to live on a €100 a week while a disgraced FAS boss who wasted public money gets a €1 million golden handshake?
It’s time for you to join Sinn Féin’s campaign for “Jobs for the Unemployed”!
We are putting forward the solutions to youth unemployment.
These include:
• A youth jobs fund to create 20,000 new jobs.
• An individual plan for the long term prospects of every person under 25 who is on the live register.
• 2,000 places on a ‘One More Language Scheme’ to give the young unemployed a chance to learn an extra foreign language .
• 5000 free ECDL advanced places
• 10,000 new CE places
• 1,000 places on conversion courses at third level to help graduates convert their skills to potential growth sectors
• The elimination of useless, pointless and inadequate FAS courses.
• 8 measures to treble the number of under 25’s who are self employed including a national entrepreneurship programme, access to credit and greater support for high potential start ups.
• Create a publicly owned green tech firm for Ireland and initiate a major drive to attract FDI in renewable energy.
• Make Ireland a digital media leader through support for skills, infrastructure and entrepreneurship
• A ‘National Development Scheme’ to employ people directly on public works projects employing 2,000 workers.
We want you to join with us in campaigning to force the government to implement these proposals.

How will this help me, living in West Tyrone to find a job?
Why are you targeting the 26 counties ignoring your base?
West Tyrone voter a chara,
Thanks for your comment.
Ógra and Sinn Féin have began to roll out an extensive first wave campaign in the 26 Counties on the jobs campaign and following the launch of the youth manifesto in Stormont on the next week, we will be providing our solutions to youth unemployment in the 6 Counties, and indeed be campaigning and lobbying to ensure our demands and suggestions are met.
West Tyrone Ógra are also involved in a local youth survey at the moment and will be launching the findings, lobbying and campaigning on the issue of facilities, jobs etc.
