What are the Independent Safeguarding Authority Guidelines that FND Providers must comply with when they are running their Centres?
Can FND Providers use other subcontractors besides those allocated for their areas if they do not meet the requirements of some of their jobseekers?
If FND Jobseekers have started part-time day courses at a college/training centre as part of their Jobcentre Plus stage 3 conditions, which was approved by their Jobcentre Plus Offices before they were referred to FND Providers, and are told by their college that they cannot transfer to a evening courses so that they can attend their FND Provider's Group sessions on that particular college day, can they continue to pursue their courses if their college days clash with their FND Providers' Group session days?
What are Psychometric tests? What is their purpose? How reliable are they? What do they cover and what is the highest score that a FND Jobseeker can achieve for each element of these tests?
Is the Jobseekers' level of education, training, skills and experience together with the results of these Psychometric tests, taken into consideration by their FND Providers, to ascertain the most suitable available vacancy they can apply for? It is a crime when the time and money invested by the government and the nation in education, training, skill development and the experience gained by people in previous occupations is wasted, if people are forced into occupations that do not match the education, training, skills and experience that they have acquired which would lead to a demoralised workforce and thus further unemployment when they leave these mismatched jobs and a brain drain when they leave the UK for greener pastures.
Why can employers not allow people who have gained good education, training and skills to apply and develop them and thus gain the practical experience they did not possess before they were offered the job. Employers in undeveloped and developing countries are happy to accept people who have acquired good education, training and skills without the necessary experience for these reasons. So therefore what is wrong with the employers in the developed countries like the UK? Why are they always asking for an experienced person? No wonder the poor school, college and university leaver is angry and disgusted with employers.
Is there a list of orgnisations that have gained Investor In People status that people who have acquired good education, training and skills without the necessary experience could send speculative applications to?
What are the benefits of working on a voluntary basis?
Would you support it? If so why?
Would you employ someone who has gained most of their work experience through voluntary work or would you prefer to employ someone who has been in paid employment instead? If so why?
Some people think that people do voluntary work because they do not have anything of monetary value to offer an employer and even think voluntary work is not work. What is your opinion of volunteers and voluntary work and those people?
Also, you can not acquire all the experience you need for your chosen occupations by undertaking voluntary work such as financial accounting experience, which you may only be able, obtain in paid jobs for organisation financial control and data protection reasons.
Does Jobcentre Plus ensure that Jobseekers whose mental/physical disability is being monitored are accompanied by their specialist at Providers' initial FND interviews?
Have employers been approached to determine what their current and future needs are in terms of the level of education, training, skills and experience they expect their current and future jobseekers to possess so that schools, colleges training centres and universities can meet them?
Why do most people always think that it is the jobseeker’s fault when he/she was unsuccessful in obtaining an interview for a job or when he/she was unsuccessful in being offered the job after the interview, when in fact he/she had done everything correctly according to the book and it was the fierce competition for the job that prevented he/she from obtaining the job as in the X Factor and Britain Got Talent Music Competition? Employers should therefore always provide reasons why an applicant was unsuccessful at the final interview to help the applicant when he/she applies for another job application if he/she was at fault. After all how can you learn from your mistakes if you are not told what they are by the employer?
