New Deal Statistics

The Department for Employment and Learning provides Statistics on the main New Deal Programmes in Northern Ireland.

Statistical Bulletins

The Statistical Bulletins provide key statistical information for the two main New Deal programmes in Northern Ireland, New Deal for 18 to 24 Year Olds and New Deal 25+. Data is available on numbers participating in New Deal, on key personal characteristics of participants (such as gender and community background), on the New Deal Options chosen within the programme and on destinations after leaving the programme. The Bulletins were published on a quarterly basis with the most recent first.

On 29th September 2008 Steps to Work was introduced in Northern Ireland and subsumed the New Deal programmes. Please use link to statistics on the Steps to Work programme.

Occasional Paper

This paper examines the destination of leavers from New Deal using Department for Employment and Learning (DEL) Client Management System (CMS) data, Department for Social Development (DSD) benefits data and Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) employment data. Comparisons are made with the destination statistics previously published, which were based solely on DEL’s CMS. The New Deal destination statistics for Northern Ireland are also compared with those for Great Britain.
