The PES has also introduced several types of job-search or action plans, with targets for the number of plans to be implemented, including the Employment Realization Plan for those in receipt of benefits for involuntary unemployment, the Comprehensive Support Plan targeted at middle-aged and older workers and the Challenge Plan for young jobseekers. However, participation in these measures is usually voluntary, even for participants with El entitlement, and rates of participation in these plans, relative to the size of their potential target groups, are low. Even motivated and “job-ready” jobseekers tend to benefit from meeting a counsellor.
