There was never any need for the "welfare to work" programme.
All job seekers have to do is to find a few Poles, Latvians, Australians (or indeed any other foreign nationals) and ask them how you can find a job even with the added problem of finding your feet (including securing accommodation in a strange country), which those already here generally do not have to do.

Very well said NJ ! I have been saying the same for years ! Our friends from Europe seemed to have encountered no difficulty in finding work over here !
But to be fair on this scheme, it was tasked with finding work for disabled people, as well as our medium to long term unemployed. Some of those disabled would have been able to get jobs with Remploy, but we all know what happened to Remploy don't we ?
I have to laugh at the DWP's response to this committees findings...to quote from the link ::::
"That's a real success, and we welcome the committee's finding that the programme is better value for money to the taxpayer than any previous scheme"
If 30% was a "real success", what on earth would the DWP call a failure ?

I agree htc. I am not sure I would want to employ some of our long-term unemployed, especially the ones living on my housing estate !
But the option of doing nothing and getting paid for it, just isn't tenable any longer. If these long-term unemployed need extra help, then lets provide it.
Literacy, for instance, is a much worse problem in Britain today, then most people realise. I come across it on a daily basis. There is a lot that can be done, and I suppose the 30% who have benefitted from this welfare-to-work programme is an example of what can be achieved. But it isn't good enough.

I wouldn't employ: anyone who has been unemployed long term and has only applied for the job because he (or she) has to in order to comply with JSA rules;
anyone with a criminal record unless it was a single minor offence many years ago;
anyone with tattoos on face or neck;
anyone who cannot speak a sentence without swearing;
anyone who has a drink or drug problem.

Of course, it's a lot easier if you're young, foot-loose and fancy free, to work for peanuts and live in a house with 30 fellow travellers.
I'll guarantee that a much higher percentage of your beloved (older) immigrants are claiming benefits than the indigenous, lazy (older) Brits.

I doubt it. Got a link. As far as I'm aware the coalition closed a few, worked with charities to take a few over but I'm unaware of mass closures (a la Labour)
But even if it were true, it would just be a continuation of Labour's policy, would it not? (and I'm still surprised at Mikey for 'bringing it up'.)

///In 2007 Remploy management announced proposals to close 42 Remploy factories, later reduced to 28 after heated debates at TUC and Labour conferences, with then Work and Pensions minister, Peter Hain, requiring proposed factory closures to have ministerial approval.[6] 29 factories were eventually closed in 2008///
