Hi,
My friend is currently looking for a job as he has just recently returned from 2 years in Australia.
He was telling me that he went into FAS to register and check jobs. He noticed a Job for a Van Driver and went to apply only to find out it was a WWP job where it seems you don't get paid to do the job but you get to keep your JSA.
The FAS placement officer told him that the WWP Programme was to enable job-seekers to gain experience.
I feel that this WWP system is being abused by employers who simply recycle there workers every 9 months!
What possible experience could you gain van driving if you already passed your driving test?
I have noticed here now that FAS in my location have jobs advertised for Van Driver, Shop Assistant, and Cleaner under this WWP system!
