    I finished last month. Had appointment with JC and they trebled my job search amount per week and dumped me on mandatory work placement for a month. Still have to job search even though when i finish work the Libraries are closed.

    Richie, where are the figures to support your claim?

    25 yrs experience in the recruitement industry clueless I'm not

    You spent 25 years in the 'recruitement' industry and can't spell 'recruitment', you do seem a bit clueless.

    my advisor went on holiday and due to a mix up has not called me to make an appointment. I havent been for a few weeks. Should i ring and say i need an appt or let her get back to me. I guess she will get round to it. Will it delay my finishing on the course? Thedate?

    Hi Loony according to this recent FOI request wp returnees should not be put on MWA as they have already recently completed an employment related measure

    Richie, where are the figures to support your claim?

    FU9aQHb.png

    - click on the blue coloured bit, blue is a link to somewhere, like this

    - DWP Work Programme stats [WEP] June 2011 & March 2013

    Inclusion Analysis

    The DWP's second official performance statistics from the Work Programme. These show the number of job outcome payments made to providers between June 2011 and March 2013.

    However, DWP’s Minimum Performance Level is flawed because it can be affected by the numbers joining the programme rather than job outcomes.

    Inclusion’s preferred Job Outcome Measure is a more accurate reflection of success because it only looks at performance for those who could get a job outcome

    In the corner wearing a pointy hat Vincent Buenisedes. Come back only when you have (1) re-read my #3829 post which said "job outcomes in IDS's Chingford & Woodford Green area" and (2) get the Chingford and Woodford Green stats correct !:D

    I'll have to join Vincent in the corner as well then because I see 210 outcomes for Chingford and Woodford Green! :rotfl:

    Just how are you getting zero?
