In the ebbing days of the Celtic Tiger, FAS closed it's Jervis Street training centre in favour of a brighter, more modern purpose-built facility a few blocks away on Parnell Street. The new FAS Employment Services Office promised to deliver a more streamlined experience for job seekers and those interested in retraining or improving their CVs through any number of courses offered through the organisation.
To a point that promise has been met. The many job listings neatly displayed in the large windows are refreshed regularly, while inside the office's large bank of FAS computer terminals provide direct links to the volumes of training programmes and job opportunities. The sign-in desk and waiting areas are spacious and well staffed, however visitors should arrive as early as possible in the day to guarantee a meeting with one of the in-house advisers. There's also free printing and copy services for those registered at the location. read more
