Job Centre Sending People to Scam Jobs

If your son was 16 or 17 this might not be a bad idea, but he's 24!

I think the time is long overdue for you to ask your son why he gets the interview but not the job. You say he is quiet and shy, can you not help him to project his personality and enthusiasm.

Being "on the scrap heap at 24" is a phrase he should be fighting to disprove.

I always find the 's/he's an adult, stop fighting his/her battles' argument strange.

Wealthy/connected families often 'put a word in for'/fight the corner of their offspring at whatever age. Why should it be different for ordinary folk? This is a seperate issue to helping an introvert.

In work, I have no time for the 'I need to think about/absorb it/do it at my own speed' introvert approach when there is a deadline to meet per se. If experience (and monitoring) tells me that X will get done after an initially slow start - fine. If the slow start turns into a late finiish then the employee isn't right for the job and I'll do my utmost to manage them out of it.

OP, if your son can manage to persuade acts to perform for subsistence 'pay' he's not the quiet and shy individual you think he is. There are some hefty influencing/persuasion skills at work. I'd suggest focussing on that.
