[Minister for Social Protection, Joan Burton TD and the Minister for Education and Skills, Ruairi Quinn at the Launch of the Youth Guarantee Implementation Planyesterday

Social Protection Minister Joan Burton unveiled the Youth Guarantee Fund aimed at getting young people into work….But included in it is a sneaky cut to jobseeker’s benefit if a young person doesn’t sign on for JobBridge or accept a placement – which has been branded cheap labour It will also slash the dole if the unemployed person doesn’t “register their CV on ‘recommended jobs websites”.
Ms Burton said these sanctions are only used in “the fairly limited number of cases where people fail to engage”.

Advance Pitstop are clearly using as a systematic way to obtain cheap labour. The guidelines state that you can only offer an internship where the company has vacancies in that area. So Advance PitStop has no vacancies for sales fitters yet they require 28 interns. I refuse to accept the fact that they have work for 30 interns but have no vacancies in that area…

A decent music JobBridge??.

YOU decide.

Cathal, from FanFootage, writes:

“I think this a good example of a non-bullshit Jobbridge and might be a dream opportunity for a talented video and live music nut out there.

“We’re the video technology start-up based across from Clement & Pekoe on South William St who are trying to build the world’s biggest video crew. Our service turns all those shite-sounding fan videos from a concert into watchable content by syncing them up with artist-approved live audio and presenting all the different angles in a switchable video player.

“And just for the record, we DON’T approve of fans filming at gigs, UNLESS the band actually ask them to. With FanFootage that’s usually just one song from the band’s set, so the fans can put their cameras and phones away for the rest of the show and just enjoy the music.”
