GAA/JOBBRIDGE
The GAA aims to provide meaningful internships, which will enable interns to grow in competence and confidence as they develop their capabilities, on the basis of experience and reflection.
JobBridge is a new National Internship Scheme that will provide work experience placements for interns for a 6 or 9 month period. The aim of the National Internship Scheme is to assist in breaking the cycle where jobseekers are unable to get a job without experience, either as new entrants to the labour market after education or training or as unemployed workers wishing to learn new skills. The scheme will also give people a real opportunity to gain valuable experience to bridge the gap between study and the beginning of their working lives.
The GAA has always placed on emphasis on Social Capital – Scáth a Chéile – and Civic Contribution. The JobBridge initiative has provided the GAA with the means to make a contribution and to provide unemployed individuals with the opportunity to utilise the skills that they have learned during training or education in a practical work environment for the first time, or, indeed, to enhance the skills that they have already gained through previous employment.
The GAA/JobBridge Internship Scheme will provide unemployed individuals with the opportunity to develop and advance their skills in a practical work environment. In conjunction with the JobBridge initiative the GAA may be able to offer up to 200 internships, at any one time, in the areas of Games Development and Administration.
The first phase of internships as part of the GAA/JobBridge scheme have gone live today at www.jobbridge.gaa.ie and www.jobbridge.ie – both links are available on the Leitrim GAA Website.

Senior Hurling Champions 2011
Club HurlingGortletteragh captured the Leitrim Senior Hurling Championship title on Saturday in Pairc Sean when they defeated a gallant CluainÃn side in the Final replay after another extra time thriller. Gortletteragh had the better of exchanges in the opening half and they lead 2-3 to 0-4 at the interval. CluainÃn battled back tremendously in the second half and a late free forced extra-time with a 1-8 to 2-5 scoreline. CluainÃn took the lead at the start of extra-time but an Eanna MaddenÓgoal for Gortletteragh six minutes from time proved the winning score. Final score read Gortletteragh 3-7. CluainÃn 1-11 (after extra-time).
Gortletteragh bridged a 13 year gap to win this years Senior Hurling Championship and we take this opportunity to congratulate them on their success and wish them well on the road in Connacht.
Finally, well done to both teams on producing two absorbing contests and their officials and mentors for promoting hurling in the county. The attendances at both fixtures were very impressive and hopefully that reflects a growing interest in hurling in the county. Again, well done to all concerned.
