I am on the work programme and I have been to two jobs they have provided me with via an agency these were the jobs no one in their right mind would do, I have done a few shifts but nothing long term and only temporary. I do hope he gets job from the WP but I for one wouldn't hold my breath.

my son also starts on work experience/programme, however the jobcentre want to refer it as, but its the same thing... UNPAID work!! My lad starts monday at 9am at B & Q.. yes, name and shame... If he doesnt attend, he doesn't get his money, although, he is only on hardship payment at the moment (£33 a week). This is for 6-8weeks, so he has been told, and also that there is 'the chance of a job' at the end of it. I can't talk sense into him, but he won't get a job at the end of it,(will be shocked if he does). To me, if they can afford to give him a job after the work experience, then they can afford to give him a job now~!!..... I have signed this petition, along with my family and friends.. DO THE SAME and stop this!¬!!!
