    No because you wont be able to go jobseeking thats what the SW will say to you anyway.

    Do we not have FAS to train people on the "dole" into trades etc? so they get a better education, upskill while getting payments to keep them off the breadline!!

    we do but very few people are willing to supply people with a trade, fas arent worth a fcuk, its not too many years ago that people had to pay to get a trade, i would gladly work for nothing if it meant i would get experience and stop me going mental stuck at home

    Fas do a work placement program. You might be entitled to keep your JSB or whatever you are on. You have to be in receipt of it for three months before you can qualify or unemployed for three months.

    For example, my husband has been going off his rocker at home looking for jobs etc, the lady in fas told him about the wpp, he found a barber interested in taking him on so he is starting next week, working/ training for 30 hours a week and he will retain his JSB. He will be able to do this for nine months as he has a nine month entitlement left on his JSB and at the end of the nine months if the employer keeps him on he will be exempt from paying prsi for him, if not he will have the experience to hopefully get a job elsewhere. I think it is a really good scheme. At least he will have something to do during the day and he will be learning something new, no one would have taken him on in this area otherwise.
