    I realise the scheme is only a recent enough initiative but I am just wondering if anyone has obtained a permanent job from a Job Bridge scheme either from the company they did the internship or elsewhere? Just wondering how prospective employers view the Job Bridge scheme.

    I started a Work Placement Program (the name of Job Bridge before the name change) in January in a financial services company in Waterford, and was taken on paid in September. More than anything, I was able to put a work-life balance routine into my life again as well as developing social circles (people in work, customers, potential contacts to further your career etc.)

    I understand that this scheme is open to abuse and that, on principle, people should be given a wage in exchange for labour, but it looks good on the CV that you are willing and determined to get experience for free.

    I hope it all works out for you,

    Shal
