Job Plan, funded by the Ballyfermot Drugs Task Force through FÁS , is a bridging course for people coming from a background of drug use who are interested in exploring options around re-entry into work.

The aim of Job Plan is to assist ex-substance users to establish:

  • New Directions
  • New Priorities
  • New Networks
  • In relation to work, training or education.


The programme will run Monday to Friday in the mornings, for 18 weeks based in our Drumfinn Park office and will include training on computers, job-search skills, and personal development. All of these will be underpinned by an approach which aims to plan and establish practical re-integration strategies for those aiming to move from a history of active drug use into a drug free life whether working or training. A new detox element has been included to facilitate those interested in becoming drug free.
