Re: Prison factory plan 'to cut reoffending', says minister
New Deal has been around for years, i've been on it twice. The job before the one I have now was the result of a 6 month new deal placement. I ended up being there four and a half years.

On one side, a company isn't going to waste money training you up and then let you go, but on the other hand, if your doing a job that needs little training then you just might find yourself replaced at the end of your placement.

Both of the above situations happened where I used to work. I also saw the impact on productivity/work flow when they had to get rid of placements that were good at what they did(we were a new deal provider so sometimes ended up having to let people go through daft jobcentre rules)
