The Job Initiative is a programme providing full-time employment for people who are 35 years of age or over, unemployed for 5 years or more, and in receipt of social welfare payments over that period.

The programme is sponsored by groups wishing to benefit the local community, namely voluntary organisations, public bodies and those involved in not-for-profit activities benefiting both employee and community.

Listed below are Community Groups which sponsor Job Initiative Employees.

• Inishowen Development Partnership
• Fort Dunree & Military Museum Ltd.
