Re: Sainsbury's pull out of 'Work for your benefits scheme'
 

read the article, it clearly mentions age.

You think it's age discrimination because the schemes refered to apply to 18-24yr olds ?:confused::confused:

I truly cannot see how make work will actually incentivise anyone whatever damned scheme it is..Unless the end result is they get a job that they receive a decent wage for and it engages their interest.

And no there is nothing wrong in stacking shelves for short periods.If it is all you end up doing then it's not exactly going to engage you or interest you in working for a company in the long run.

I'm afraid that's a luxury only available to a few these days Maggie

Re: Sainsbury's pull out of 'Work for your benefits scheme'
 

it gets worse.

Someone managed to get their own work experience in a field they have experience in, their job centre advisor told them to cancel that work experience and do one provided by the job centre instead or be sanctioned.

Also some over 35s (seems to be age discrimination affecting the older as well as younger) are not happy jobs are been kept for the young only by the job centre.

:clap:

if someone is shown what its like to d ajob thats enjoyable or at least offers a decent wage packet then they get to see the benefits. Work experience that does the opposite will just reinforce their belief's work sucks. (assuming its a workshy person doing the workfare).

The problem seems to be quite apparent that the job centre is treating everyone as workshy by default when they hit certian criteria.
