Potential Tús participants are identified by random selection by DEASP. Once randomly selected, the DEASP writes to each suitable individual selected, offering them the opportunity to be considered for a work placement opportunity and requesting their consent to have their contact details shared with West Cork Development Partnership. Those agreeing to participate and to having their contact details shared with West Cork Development Partnership are then referred to West Cork Development Partnership. West Cork Development Partnership will then contact the potential participant and invite them for an initial assessment interview to determine their interest, work and educational background and other relevant facts in order to attempt to find a suitable work placement.
