Depends how you come across with them imo,, if you look easily intimidated they wont hesitate in exploiting that by getting you onto pointless sessions they do,, "interview techniques workshop", where you spend 2 days learning how to present yourself, do a mock interview where they actually want you to wear a suit,, and no one on this is ever going to wear a suit to their job interviews,, because they are only wanting warehouse work, which are 100% through a sodding agency,, a sign up and induction is usually the way ffs,, its like they think they are dealing with bankers and car salesmans ffs. Health never seems to come into their thinking either... its basically the old work programme with the word "health" tagged in for show, just to trick people onto it with actual health conditions. They can expect being sent to recruitment agencies,, and doing lots of work related sessions 😂😒. and just today one bloke with obvious health conditions was spoken to like a fu**ing 5 year old by this hard nose cow :(,, he only wanted reimbursing and was told to sit down and wait nearly an hour,, because they weren't reimbursing him until 12:15.... like what the f***?.

SO vague! Yep. What kind of activities did they have you or others doing?

Yes. I honestly believe its there entirely to trip people up. Health conditions I would strongly suggest you get medical evidence from the Doctors, because without it you'll be screwed over by them. Just saying you have a health condition is not going to be sufficient. And anyone long term unemployed is pretty much going to have to get a job if they want to stay in the system.

I'd love to know more cos they are SO VAGUE! Is there ANY advantage of this over getting a volunteer job on my own? Will I need less references or less of anything that I'd need if I got a volunteer job by myself? And do they only get UNPAID work? (Cos, yeah, I get that impression too but OMG they are SO VAGUE about what they can actually help with & that makes me wary!)

I've been with them since may,had one appointment,I asked the woman what jobs have people got from this service,she said depends what you want to do,they've cancelled two appointments already and only have 4 workers in office 1 on maternity leave(3 left,)I keep hearing bad shit about it online,Why wouldn't they let you sign up?
