About us
Gettingbacktowork.ie is provided by the Citizens Information Board. The website provides comprehensive information on the supports available to jobseekers and the interaction between social welfare benefits and work.
Gettingbacktowork.ie uses selected content from the citizensinformation.ie website to meet the specific information needs of jobseekers, people moving from welfare to work, people setting up small businesses and employers looking for information on government supports.
The website also acts as a portal to other websites, in particular citizensinformation.ie, but also welfare.ie and dedicated government websites such as jobbridge.ie, momentumskills.ie, skillstowork.ie, solas.ie and jobsireland.ie.
