- Summary:
-
In Ireland, four government programs have traditionally been available to help individuals wishing to establish an enterprise: (1) Enterprise Training; (2) local training initiatives (LTI); (3) the Enterprise Scheme; and (4) the Community Enterprise Programme (CEP). In 1988, the four enterprise measures were combined to form the Training and Employment Authority (Gaelic acronym: FAS). The extent to which the four programs have been integrated since the establishment of FAS was examined in a study during which the following activities were conducted: examination of monitoring materials from the Department of Enterprise and Employment, FAS' client database, and pertinent research/literature review; meetings with FAS head office staff; and interviews with FAS staff and end users. The study revealed an absence of effective coordination and lack of progress toward integration of the four enterprise measures since 1988. FAS' role in encouraging enterprise has yielded mixed results. The CEP has had significant impacts on many local communities, especially in disadvantaged areas. The Enterprise Training and Enterprise Scheme programs have been characterized by a lack of postprogram support. It was recommended that CEP enterprise workers' responsibilities be expanded to include provision of postprogram support and that FAS continue to use rigorous selection criteria when awarding enterprise development assistance.
