Darius, Ardee
I couldn't recommend this service enough. The help, encouragement, and support from the EmployAbility Job Coach was excellent. She helped compile my CV, and before every interview, she was always available to prep me. She is always contactable by email. I am now in part-time employment.
Jurgita, Dundalk
Before I started with my Job Coach I had no confidence in returning to employment; since working with her, she has given me the foundations to support me in my employment journey and has always supported me with employment and my own personal development also. The on-going support has pushed me to keep going and has been invaluable to where I am now. I am now in full-time employment as a technical support advisor for the UK's largest broadband provider and enjoying the benefits of job satisfaction and on-going support from her.
Mark, Drogheda
I recently used EmployAbility Service Louth to help me source my new job. My facilitator went above and beyond the call of duty to help me prepare my CV. We considered many jobs together until we both agreed on one that might suit me. I felt quietly confident going into the interview as we had spent several meetings going through interview skills and to help me prepare for my interview, we completed many mock interviews. The good news is I got the job which I am now 3 months in and loving it. My facilitator has told me she is with me for the long haul. She is definitely the reason I secured this job. My advice is to take a chance phone EmployAbility Service Louth.
Mairead, Carlingford

Donna, Termonfeckin
EmployAbility Service Louth is a wonderful service, and I first came across it in May 2019. I had completed my Master's and found it quite difficult to gain employment.
EmployAbility Service Louth changed this and put me in the right direction. The first day I met my job coach, we had a chat, and I was introduced and informed of numerous opportunities and pathways that I could avail of to gain employment.
The supports and encouragement that I received was fantastic. The cv preparation that I received was excellent. To have a second person review my curriculum vitae and advise me of ways to improve it was brilliant.
The mock interviews give me great confidence to answer any question that I was asked. It wasn’t long until I began my first day in the working world.
My job coach was there to support me every step of the way, informing me of my entitlements and how to sort out my Revenue.
I will always look to EmployAbility Service Louth for any advice that I may need in the future regarding my employment and opportunities that may arise.
Catherine, Dundalk
EmployAbility Service Louth helped me to obtain my first professional job, which suited my chosen vocation perfectly. My Job Coach helped me organise my CV, structure answers for interviews, and to supply relevant information to the questions. The one on one meetings really benefited me, and I felt more confident applying for jobs and getting experience in attending interviews with this agency's support. I also appreciated them checking to see if I was secure in my new position once I had landed the job. I would highly recommend EmployAbility Service Louth's services if you are potentially seeking a job in any capacity
Finbar, Ardee
I really appreciated all the help I received from EmployAbility Service Louth. My Job Coach arranged for me to compile a current CV in preparation for interviews he had arranged for me. Along with CV preparation, he also took me through interview procedures. I had no problem getting employment with the help of my Job Coach as he set me up with an interview within weeks of contacting him.
That was 2 years ago now, and he still checks in with me to ensure I am still happy with my employment.
I cannot praise EmployAbility Services Louth enough and would take this opportunity to once again thank them for all their help.

Rebecca, Dunleer
What can I say about EmployAbility Service Louth in Drogheda, They have been absolutely brilliant from day one. I never knew about this service and I'm sorry I didn't know about it sooner. Going down to have a meeting with them I was so nervous, I had no idea what work I was capable of or what I wanted to do. EmployAbility set me down and talked over different job options and benefits. They were so easy to chat with and so helpful. At the time my reading and writing wasn't great and EmployAbility helped me by getting me in touch with NALA in Louth, now my reading and writing skills are better than before. Also my health has been great and the job I am in suits me down to the ground - All thanks to EmployAbility Service Louth - Big thanks.

Thanks to EmployAbility Service Louth I am now happily placed in a position with a successful multinational. My Disability Officer in DKIT told me about EmployAbility Service Louth. I made contact with them a few weeks before I finished my IT degree. I couldn’t believe the warm, friendly, reception I got from the staff there. Very early in the process my Job Coach suggested that I should consider an Internship. I agreed as I had absolutely no work experience in IT. My Job Coach kept in close contact with me and my employer during the 9 months internship. I’m now working full time in a job I love. I am very grateful for the time and effort EmployAbility Service Louth put into finding me a suitable internship that lead to a job.

Michael, Dundalk
I was diagnosed with MS 4 years ago, slowly but surely I realised I was no longer able to continue working in construction and had to eventually give up my job, this really hit me hard. I knew I was no longer able for full time work due to the fatigue associated with the MS. I went to my local Intreo office for help, they referred me to EmployAbility Service Louth. I have found them to be excellent, from the get go I felt the Job Coach understood my difficulties and concerns; we had regular meetings, during this time we explored various work avenues and my C.V was updated and improved. I also got help with interview preparation. My Job Coach contacted a range of employers on my behalf. Following a short work experience in a local builder’s suppliers store I secured a part time job. The job suits me perfectly. In short, the service I received from EmployAbility Service Louth was exemplary. I can’t recommend them highly enough
