Welcome to Louth Meath Local Area Employment Service (LM LAES)
Supporting Your Journey to Employment
Louth Meath Local Area Employment Service (LM LAES) is funded by the Department of Social Protection and works in partnership with Intreo Employment Service to support individuals who are long-term unemployed and face significant barriers to entering the labour market.
Our mission is to help jobseekers achieve financial independence, whether through full-time employment or starting their own business. We work directly with clients referred to us by the Department of Social Protection and provide tailored support through every step of their employment journey.
Who We Work With
LM LAES supports jobseekers who are:
-
On a social welfare payment
-
Referred by the Department of Social Protection
-
Seeking to re-enter the labour market
Upon referral, each jobseeker engages in a 52-week structured
programme focused on personal progression toward full-time, paid employment.
How the Programme Works
Each participant is assigned a dedicated Case Officer who works one-on-one with them to develop a Personal Progression Plan. This plan outlines clear goals and actionable steps designed to support the individual's path
to employment.
Support Includes:
-
Regular monthly meetings to review progress
-
Ongoing encouragement and guidance
-
Access to education, training, and employment opportunities
-
Continued support even after gaining employment
