Answered by Minister for Economy
Our Communities for Work Plus (CfW+) programme funds Employer Liaison Officers (ELOs) in each of the 22 local authority areas to engage on its behalf.
Figures available up to November 2022 indicate that the three programmes have supported 82,935 individuals so far, with 36,528 of these entering employment offering more than 16 hours of work each week.
