JSA Work programme

You did it at the same time as me then. And looking at how it went for you totally proves how un-structured it is.

Do you actually believe that claim that they get £400 and nothing else till they get you back into work? I certainly don't. That would be commercial suicide for any business, especially when thee job market is in the toilet.

Well I went back to the JC and was told after 2-3 weeks that I will be signing on daily for 6 weeks. When I asked why, I was told that it was because I didn't get a job on the WP and they saw that as bad. I suggested they ask the WP provider, as it was THEIR job to get me into work.

This Government is following the previous Governments model of 'Don't bother helping people back into work, fill the jobs with East Europeans and the penalise those left on the Dole'

And that is where the problem lies!!!

Boris Johnson, David Cameron have joined the list of "influential people who have sung the praises of the East Europeans....what chance have us unemployed people got when they think we are not worth helping?

Yes I do and as they told me 'we wont be able to help you' they are not going to waste their time when they know they wont make money on me!

My provider has made over £6 million just on the people that have been referred!

That is not suicide at all - its a good earner

That is NOT where the problem lies at all.

The WP providers have NO power over an employer unless the employer comes to them to source staff.

There are jobs out there its just getting the interview that is hard as no one can make the employer interview you even if you more than meet the criteria!
