Seetec - JobPath

Hi, unfortunately being on a JSA payment automatically includes you for possible selection for Jobspath, regardless of your previous BTEA or indeed you plans to do level 8. In essence your picked randomly as a recipient of JSA.

I won't go into what Jobspath is and its appalling history, if you search through various threads you'll get the picture.

All I can advise is take the call, Sign absolutely nothing (under no obligation), engage in the interim but explain your plans. Proceed with your plans Seperately and if approved for further BTEA this will take precedence as such.

Unfortunately there's an important thing to understand, if in receipt of JSA regardless of your intentions, you must be seeking employment, Jobspath companies are tasked with allegedly assisting jobseekers find employment. Follow their requests etc whilst Seperately focus on your next BTEA plans.

Search Turas Nua or Seetac for further info and shared experiences.

If you get a job for the 1-2 months you won't need to engage with them. Places are crying out for staff

Yes, that would be a possible concern

Good luck, keep your thoughts to yourself etc and absolutely document everything, there are RAREand I mean RARE cases of positive Jobspath experiences but as long as you engage your adhering to your obligations 😏

Download an app called cube acr. This records all calls. Tell them for clarity purposes, you keep concise records and your calls are recorded. It stops any misunderstandings down the line. My friend did that and they refused to talk to him. You are entitled to do it though

It is not, honestly I wouldn't be going down the road. There is strict obligations surrounding the recording of conversations. I've seen this raised before and whilst it is correct to say Seetac won't talk to you if conversations recorded, it only creates tension and negativity, just a humble opinion I might add.

They told him he is paused until face to face meetings resume. It is funny, as when you ring seetec, the machine tells you all calls may be recorded for training and quality purposes. He does the same as it will help if anyone says "we didnt say that". It is kinda hard to understand how they say they do it, but then wont allow it. It is so important to have records.

I fully agree with your sentiments, I know all too well about Jobspath and the disgraceful Sham it is, personally, I dealt with Turas Nua but both from the same cloth.

My advice to OP is not out of concern about upsetting Seetac but to guide them through the process as they are new to Jobspath, I advise people to be seen to engage, document everything and be ultra cautious, certainly not cower to them. They'll bully and harass if permitted too, I on the other hand took them on and as I've discussed this on other threads. Needless to say neither will want me ever referred to them again 😏

Excellent, well done, that's how it's done. Just be mindful to get cracking on the BTEA process

Your welcome and best wishes for the future 😏
