The first people do not leave till about July so I doubt this is it
Mine ends 7/7/13, I think they must get the report to the DWP ten days before that date, which means by mid/end June they will be doing my report.0 -
That's not a Employability Skills course thoughMine ends 7/7/13, I think they must get the report to the DWP ten days before that date, which means by mid/end June they will be doing my report.
I have only ever had one session called Understanding the Job Market and one this week called Telephone Techniques and nothing other than that from them so my report will be empty!

The JC have no idea what is coming next
At my last "review" (restart) my adviser at JCP (who I get on well with) has already told me I will be doing 30 hours a week on the next one.0 -
restart? Eh? who told you that? the JC? I have had a group session at my JC where they said they have no idea yetAt my last "review" (restart) my adviser at JCP (who I get on well with) has already told me I will be doing 30 hours a week on the next one.
30 hours a week work programme? Where is anyone going to have the room for all the people? Over 2000 a week go to the one I go to and if one weeks worth of people end at the same time what are they to do with them all?We’ve had to remove your signature.

I said to her, isn't there a way of getting of this cycle? (I'd just signed back on after six weeks employment) She says find a job over 16 hours a week and stay on it for six months, when you sign back on you will go back to stage one, and they should leave you alone for six months, then they will send you on another course!0

No, she know I'm on the work program, I was asking her about "re-engagement" with the provider, as you know we are on the programe for two years once you have signed up to it, even if you get a job the first week, you still have to go back to them if it ends within two years.0 -
Yes I know that so what has that got to do with the end of the WP?No, she know I'm on the work program, I was asking her about "re-engagement" with the provider, as you know we are on the programe for two years once you have signed up to it, even if you get a job the first week, you still have to go back to them if it ends within two years.We’ve had to remove your signature.

DO you mean as long as after the WP you get a job for 16 hours or more for 6 mths or more then you are on no courses till you sign back on?
Why 16 hours? What has hours got to do with it?We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

They might not know, or don't want to tell you.
I suspect that what ever is in the report, we will all still be sent on a much harsher scheme.
I don't know about you but I look upon the Work Program as a rest!
Bad stuff is next.0
