Jesus Christ, everytime I pop in to this thread, it makes my blood boil.
A 9 month internship for a ****ing receptionist??

Nice work blindjustice. I hadn't been taking much notice of this but I've read the last few pages and the whole thing seems to be a joke. This is yet more evidence of Ireland becoming a 2-tier society of insiders and outsiders.

quoted from the first page of this threadSo... I say it'll be at the very most a month before you see shops offering "internships" of stocking the shelves, sweeping the floors, etc. Also "internships" that will need 4+ years experience as a manager to do a "internship" of being a manager, managing people who will probably be getting paid an annual wage...0

You and lots of others I'd say. This thing is utter non-sense. There's decent pay and oppurtunities in England and Scotland still. And no working for free crap.0 -
You know, there is a side to this that really makes me hang my head morosely. This scheme may be the product of politicians eager to see people emigrate (because let's be frank, this scheme couldn't just be down to stupidity) but it is ordinary Irish men and women who are putting up these jobs.
In effect, the largest abusers of this system are the Irish people themselves and the sufferers are other Irish people. Once again, we stab each other in the back for the most narcissistic of reasons.0 -

hey yeah there is a huge divide appearing, even within the public sector people who are being hired are put on different pay to those already doing the same work. Pensions are different too.

I've been keeping up with this thread since the start and it has only left me reeling with despair and dismay. Despair, since it is evident that opportunities for gainful employment in Ireland are only being undermined by this hare-brained scheme and dismay, since it continues to operate without proper oversight.
I took the hard decision to leave Ireland last week to find work. I left behind my husband who is employed and my son who is starting university in the autumn. Bottom line was that my husband earns too much for me to be eligible for any SW payment, so even if I had stayed in Ireland and started one of these 'internships', I would have earned absolutely nothing for my efforts.
So, after almost 20 years in Europe, I returned to the US where I was born and raised. I arrived in NYC exactly one week ago on the evening of Thursday the 21st. I've been staying with the 'rents since and applied for every job I have seen.
Guess what? I was offered every job I applied to and am starting work tomorrow morning. This compares to my efforts to find work in Ireland over the last 18 months--I think I had two interviews and no offers.
So as someone has already mentioned above, stupidity can't fully explain the crapitude of the JobBridge internship scheme. There must certainly also be a sinister and self-serving aim to drive people out of the country to find work.
My advice to anyone thinking of doing it is to just go. It'll break your heart to leave behind your family and friends, but it has to be done.0 -

Very sad but so true, I'm sorry to hear you have been forced to leave your family in Ireland. This scheme is making a bad situation even worse, it's truly shocking and needs to be exposed at the highest levels for what it is.
Wish you luck in your new job though and keep looking for something (paid) here0 -

Most people I've spoken to about this would regard it as "total bulls**t", only a few would regard it as otherwise and most of the latter tend to be of the highly onerous, idealogical liberal type. However, I do agree that most people don't really think too much about this because they either don't care, think it will only effect "young people" (a dangerous assumption) or, sadly, are employers keen to abuse it themselves.
There is little doubt in my mind that the aim of these scheme is far from a sanguine attempt to help graduates by getting them experience. If that was the aim, there would be far better ways to go about it such as tax breaks for employers who hire (and pay) graduates or perhaps a small subsidy upon their wages with the rest coming from the company. Nay, this scheme is too soul destroying in its mission to simply be the product of idiots in the public service.
As bad as many politicians are, most of them are not stupid (imcompetence is not stupidy). Burton and the rest know this scheme will push many dispondend souls into emigration and I would not be surprised if this is at the behest of the EU. If this is true then I feel a desire to emigrat myself even though I am in full employment0 -

Guess what? I was offered every job I applied to and am starting work tomorrow morning. This compares to my efforts to find work in Ireland over the last 18 months--I think I had two interviews and no offers.
Congratulations. That is really amazing. From what I've been reading the jobs market in the US is the worst that it has been since the Great Depression so that really puts things in perspective.0 -
think it is a good idea for recent graduates for example who have no work expreience to gain experience and still being paid.0

Its different to here, a US friend of mine in California where unemployment is higher than other states got a job two weeks after leaving Ireland and started her 2nd better job two months ago. She works in bakeries
all anecdotal though0 -

As a poster pointed out above this scheme will have a knock on effect on other occupations/disciplines and as for the JLC rates employers are getting around that in some industries by getting in temp/agency workers were no premium/OT is paid.
I know of some professional drivers who are getting paid the MIN WAGE and who would have to work nearly 60hrs a week to earn a half decent wage is this the road our govt wants to go down? Well if it is they might as well get the RSA to scrap all those adverts about driver fatigue.
Like Blind Justice I believe in a honest days pay for an honest days work the people that think up of these schemes are as usefull as a chocolate tea pot,I my self since been let go have turned down over three jobs due to the money and hours not to mention the responsibility of the job.
In the mean time I do temping work were I can earn more in three days than what the job offers i turned down would give me for a weeks work,There are definitely companies taking the piss with our current economic climate I've witnessed one such company who won a contract to provide logistics service for a well known company from my sources there was not much in the difference between the two tenders.
Yet the winning company pays there staff half the wage the company who lost the contract paid there staff and the people working there will working 24/7 over this week end with no shift/Sunday premium,Once this starts in a certain sector you can be assured it will spread to other sectors.0 -

My friend is a dentist. Worked in Ireland for a few years and then went to Canada. He had been living in Canada for several years.
He came home after his marriage broke down a few months ago.
I was talking to him last night and he was telling me he has been looking for a job in Dublin.
All he as been getting is told that they can get people to work for free for 6 months and that if he wants to get a foot in the door he must work for free for 6 - 12 months to prove himself.
Needless to say hes headed back to Canada.
Now dentistry is not available on the slave scheme, but its the first example ive seen of the slave trade spreading beyond the scheme. This scheme has started us all on a slippery slope.0 -

Let's get a bit of perspective amongst all the righteous indignation.
Rewind the clock to the celtic tiger years. Poorly trained building trades men, and all and sundry associated with the building industry demanded an arm and two legs to get out of bed. Market forces and excess demand for labour over supply led to phenomenal wage appreciation.
This spilled over into many if not most other sector of the economy.
Workers unashamedly used the prevailing market forces to value their labour.
No problem there.
Now the market has changed, and the same market in a different set of supply and demand circumstances is doing what any free market does. It's putting a value on labour, which is proportionate to its supply.
Where's the problem.?0 -

Asking an exorbitant wage is wrong, you'll find no argument from me on that. However, asking someone to do a day's work for no remuneration aside from state welfare is also wrong...a right, two wrongs makes not.
The point alot of people, my self included, are making here is that it is becoming increasingly common for employers to advertise jobs without salaries or to place job adverts on the WPP or jobsbridge sites. Our fear is that this could becoming a part of the work system if it is not stopped.0 -

To paraphrase one Maggie Thatcher "you can't buck the market".
We may as well get used to the fact that we are facing into years of real wage deflation in the private sector. Supply and demand economics are working.0 -

WPPs attest to a demand for labour. But the government is footing the bill. I don't see how that fits your Thatcherite framework. You think Thatcher would have backed a scheme in which the public subsidises the private sector? I don't.0
