it depends on what you see as doing their job properly. people have a brain that enables them to think for themselves. this means if they feel anything about their job is wrong and they can avoid it or change it they probably will. the people that dont do that are generally known as jobsworths. or worse.

Again that shows your total ignorance about the world of work

Knowledge of world of work is irrelevant. It's human nature. If a person has the desire to be decent they will be if they can.

That's because you don't appear to have it.

no its irrelevant for the reasons stated. what i appear to have makes no difference to this.

You have not stated any reasons not ones that have any basis in real life anyway

do you think a person would not avoid doing a bad thing if they could?

I was on the work programme for 15 months until I found a job a few months ago. When I reached the 12 month stage I had to attend a 'life after the work programme' information session which was basically just a talk and a power point presentation from a job centre advisor.

They did talk about having to sign on daily and having to be at the job centre 9-5 Monday to Friday and them not accepting lack of childcare as an excuse for not attending, and going on some the questions asked by my fellow job seekers afterwards some were genuenly fearful of what was to come.

But me and a couple of others got taken to one side by my work programme advisor on the way out and the woman from the job centre said that she'd heard some good things about us and how we were all going above and beyond what they excepted of us to look for work. She said that we had little to worry about and that if we were still unemployed in a years time we wouldn't have any problems with the job centre so long as we keep up with the possitive attitude.

Hope this helps.

i hope that turns out to be the case for you but from what i see it usually depends on the adviser you get on what happens to you.

I've got my 2nd appointment with the JC this morning after finishing work programme, was told I start a course/programme almost straight away, does anyone else know what you have to do or go on. Thank you

No idea, but looks like the JC are trying to do as little as possible if they're sending you on some other programme.

I thought after the 2 year you stayed with the JC for a while, at least.

I did go on a programme before the 2 year work programme. It was shorter. I was there all day everyday just job searching until they found a volunteer position for 4 out of 5 days. So it may be something like that. In which case, nothing at all to worry about but it is very very very boring and their computers are probably going to be limited to what you can go on (limiting job searching) and not sure how secure they are (personally, didn't like logging into things because I didn't trust it) so that maybe limits you too. I'd suggest taking an mp3 player/ipod and a book (and maybe paper and a pen/pencil), hopefully you can use at least one.

It was much better for me once the volunteering started, but of course that does depend on what you're doing (I did get a say in it).

If it's a course, it all depends on exactly what that's for, although I can imagine that's probably going to be boring too (maybe CV writing, how to job search and things like that unless it's an actual college course). So maybe take lots of paper and a pen/pencil. Good for taking notes if needed, even better for drawing or writing if you're really bored lol.

I doubt it's anything to worry about, but it probably is something to make it appear like the JC are doing something to help when they are really just largely wasting your time.
