Internship scheme.

My employer, a multinational maanufacturing company, WAS, going to advertise for two different intern positions, but have now decided against it, as they fear that nothing but negative perception of the positions, will arise given the huge online negative publicity about the whole scheme.
Wouldn't mind, but the positions being talked about are totally genuine, and would give a definite good experience to any sucessful candidate.
Shame really!
Genuine in what way? What do you mean? What use is experience is there are still no real jobs?
I saw a company advertising an internship for a very particular skill set...I have that skill set & experience - great you would think now the company dont need to train someone in....so I got companies HR email address and asked them if they had any vacancies (not mentioning the work for free crap)and if they would have a look at my CV.
Surprise surprise they said they would keep my CV on file that it was "excellent" but that they had no vacancies at this time.....
They only want the free labour0 -

The only genuine job is one that pays you.
I think to put this into perspective, we need to look back to some of the older people still with us. My grandmother grew up in a tenament house in the 1940s and she's well into her 70s now. I was telling her about this scheme and she couldn't grasp why anyone would want to work for free.
When she was in her 20s, you got a job if you were lucky and if you couldn't do that, you emigrated. Working for "valuable experience" did not come into it. I would love to know where this nonsense sprang up.
On a side note, a friend of mine is starting up a small magazine and he's looking for articles. Because I write as a hobby, he wants me to pen a few topics and I think this scheme would be a excellent subject. To that end, I want to collect some data to build up a pool of information. If anyone has any first hand experience with this scheme, has information about it or just wants to express an opinion drop me a PM and I'd be greatful for the input.
I must stress that I'm not doing this for profit at all, I just want to do something to bring this scheme some much needed scrutiny.

After reading this thread I took a look on the Fas website,out of 35 jobs available in the past week in Galway 18 were for intern positions.
A supervisor in debenhams on a 39 hour week and Topaz fuels have 5 shop asistant positions available.
How this government cannot see the stupidity of it all,these are profitable businesses that can well afford to pay for employees but now see the need not to.
I would never dream of taking one of these positions even if I was at my witts end,as a previous poster stated emigrate rather than taking this exploitation.0 -

There are professions where practically 'working for free' as an apprentice has been traditional for hundreds of years, law being a good example. It's when it starts moving into every type of job that serious question marks have to be raised. I would always advise people to emigrate (if they can) rather than succumb to this type of exploitation, plus a job where a company pays you has different expectations AND gives you the just reward for your efforts.
I think people are going to be thinking a lot more carefully about their college choices due to the effects of the recession, having to pay for college fees would also give a greater incentive to think more carefully about choices.
Irish students also need to improve their language skills, it's critical in giving a leg up over the competition.0 -

In fairness, there's also one or two good ones that would be pretty useful.
You mean actually check if the schemes are doing a public service. To see if they are actually working? Maybe monitor them for effectiveness?
What a strange idea. Isn't it clear from the name what we are doing, Job Bridge, what else do you want to know. We have a website and everything, it has all the keywords in there, job bridge and intern.

I work as a job coach for people with disabilities. My job is to prepare people for work, help them to apply for jobs and to get established in the jobs. We target mostly low skill jobs such as cleaning companies, basic supermarket jobs, general operatives etc.
We have good working relationships with many companies, especially the cleaning companies who have short hour contracts or need ad hoc staff - we have the ability to provide the staff and to supervise or train in people if the cleaning company has no base or superviser in the town.
We have been preparing clients for specific positions in security, cleaning and maintainance for the last number of weeks (Security training, manual handling, working with clleaning chemicals etc.) for a specific contract with a cleaning company in a number of shopping centres which have a specific large supermarket as their anchor tennant across the country. We were supposed to have 15 people start on €9.30 per hour for 15 hours per week from August 2nd. Today we got notice from the company to say that these positions will not be going ahead. However, if we would like to place any of our clients in these positions on the Internship Scheme, and support them in their roles, we are welcome to.
15 jobs gone. Weeks of training wasted. The cleaning company tendered a price for the contracts taking into consideration that they would have to pay the going rate. They were going to make a profit from it. Now, they are going to have the hourly rate as additional profit. Its a sham.
The WPP was a sham before it. Companies that always advertised jobs at particular busy times of the year advertised for unpaid work placements. They are well profitable - probably doing better now than in the boom time. Definitely doing better now seeing as they can get a lot of labour for free!!!!
Please make a point of reporting this.0 -

I found out today that we are getting an intern in the company I work in. Coincidentally a long serving employee has been told to leave once he hits the retirement age in a few weeks, even though he wanted to stay on in the job.0

http://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/theindex/2011/06/29/is-jobbridge-the-national-internship-scheme-an-excuse-for-cheap-labour/The level of interest from companies in JobBridge is described by Burton as “strong”. Some 320 small businesses have committed to 590 places, while the larger companies to have signed up to the scheme include Dawn Foods, KPMG, Arthur Cox, Mercury Engineering, Hertz, ESB, Bord na Móna, Tesco, PricewaterhouseCoopers, A&L Goodbody and Aer Lingus. And why not? With the Department paying the €50 per week payment, there is no direct cost to playing host.0

The person must have good speaking, writing and communication skills. Key board and computer literacy relevant to the job are required. Proficiency in the Irish language is welcome, although not essential. The person must be ambitious, be committed to providing top quality on-air material, be a good team player and not be fazed by working to very tight on-air deadlines throughout the day. A detailed knowedge of current affairs and of County Kildare is required. A full driving license is required
Why is a full driving license required? Will the intern be off on their own??
They want someone with computer skills already and are not willing to train someone up - i thought this was an internship
They also want someone with a language FFS
Sounds like they want free labour to me0 -

There is nothing, absolutely nothing concrete to prevent businesses dressing up a real job as an internship
The scheme needs to end now and the government needs to deal with the root cause of why businesses cant or wont hire people, it needs to bring costs such as rents, electricity, rates and VAT down
JLC rates are gone there is no need to provide employers with free workers0 -
If this were the US people would be in uproar no way would they stand for their tax dollars paying for this
If it were the US or the UK Burton would have to resign and the scheme ended
Instead I bet there will be superficial changes and the scheme will continue0 -
I'm after having a look at the job****e web page for the first time and noticed that they have link were you can change a WPP scheme to a job****e one,And so much for them taken down the Topaz adverts there still there or did they changed the job title&spec to trainee manager.:rolleyes:0

I have it on good authority that employers are being advised how to word the "internships" to allow them pass the lax vetting procedure on the jobbridge site.
If a job is taken down due to outcry it can be replaced in a day or so with a few semantic tweaks.0 -

Ah jasus guys this is MENTAL. People with those kind of skills PLEASE head across to the UK (where they will snap you up) and get PAID for your labour.
This is simply preying on people's desperation to work. Zero commitment shown to the employee/slave labour. At the VERY least the company taking advantage/using this free labour should have to match the amount the dole pays plus a few lunch/travel expenses...at the very minimum.0 -
i personally did an unpaid scheme through ibec last year with the same basic idea.. i got 9 months experience in process engineering, it was tough with no money , i wasnt taken on by the company after the nine months but i walked straight into a permanent paid job in another manufacturing company so these sort of schemes do work. I definately would not have got my current permanent job had i not done the internship and it was a big talking point in the interview. So for those of you who think its a waste of time think again.0
