"while listening to the representative from Job Centre Plus, I found myself wondering how much empathy he could generate towards the unemployed from within the Armani suit that he was wearing." - classic, absolutely brilliant !

as someone sent on a few courses with working links i can only assume that they are making money hand over fist.Im sure i saw on one bit of the endlees forms you had to fill in that the cost was £540 pp.recently did a awareness day which lasted 1 hour and it was a waste of time,and still heard nothing.I am now with Avanta and will have to be on their books for at least 2 years,could be sent anywhere at anytime with no prospect of employment.
The only people making money are the training providers,i would love to know how much is spent getting pppl back into work and if its cost affective
About £1500 i think..
