Welfare to Work

Channel 4 says: "The politicians stay with people who need their help. But while some of the MPs relish the chance to get involved, others are less keen to roll up their sleeves."

Update: Wed 6th January - I'm going to be interviewing Employment Minister, Jim Knight MP later today, and was just wondering if there are any (sensible!) burning questions you think would be worth asking, or topics worth any elaboration at all?

If you do, then please just post them as part of this discussion.

Hi all,

If you want to continue the discussions which have somewhat taken over the 'What would you ask Employment Minister, Jim Knight MP?' here, then please do so, and feel free to copy and past your comments to here, as the non-relevant discussions in the other thread will be moderated/deleted.

Thanks!

I have a client that is looking at training unemployed graduate or equivalent educational level people. They are exploring internships and the most suitable partnerships.

They deliver a wide range of specialist consultancy services to both the construction industry and the public sector and have a separate accredited Learning Academy.

The questions are:

1. During the training period can they remove the employee cost burden?
