Oh dear, what hope have jobseekers got with Flexible New Deal prime contractor TNG (Training Network Group) got when TNG can’t even spell “success” – so how can they provide support to jobseekers to gain success?

    I wonder what the respective MPs in the constituncies in which TNG have offices think about this?

    No, he’s still the MP for Ipswich, been there since 2001. I did a quick check on the They Work For You, he hardly ever rebels.

    Perhaps you just thought he was dead for all the good he does!!!!

    Pity you don’t have an MP like John McDonnell or Siobhan McDonough, one that is prepared to speak out.

      hehe I meant he never does anything constructive!! Poses for pictures and press conferences… all he does.

      He seems a really cool guy; his background etc. – shame he is rather a twat in reality. I guess politics has corrupted him – its either be a good MP and get no where or be a corrupt piece of shit and get promotion. No points for guessing which option he chose. Hope Ipswichians ditch him at this General Election!

      He has had two terms and hasn’t done anything for us. He is well heard of here – “Chris Mole” – but can’t really attribute anything good he has done for the community. In fact, I would say (without sounding bigheaded) that I have done more for the community than him… and he is paid, I’m not!

    Hopefully he’ll get his marching orders come May.

    Thank you for your attempt at witty observation.

    May have been better if your own comments had no mistakes,

    “Octoberas” I could be wrong……..it may be a month I have not come across as a TNG tutor.

    A TNG tutor who has over 20 job outcomes to my (and TNGs) credit.

    Well, you know the rest………………sToMes

      Thank you for your lame inaccurate attempt of a witty criticising comment.

      My articles are full of mistakes, typos and spelling errors – this is because my involvement with this website is of limited time – if I spent proper time writing such articles and comments I would exceed the permitted limit before I am deemed not Available for Work (AfW).

      As a job hunter claiming Jobseekers Allowance (JSA) I have to comply with the conditions which I have always done without fail. This website is solely a hobby and not a job. This sadly means I can’t always respond to all comments etc. and have regularly updating content.

      I don’t think you have a point about making mistakes… TNG is a rather large organisation (SME) which should be able to use a spell checker. I, myself, do not use a spell checker and most of the time don’t even check what I have typed. It wasn’t a comment you was referring to but an article. Blog comments are for discussion on the article.

      You yourself couldn’t even get your email address right, and have made a few mistakes in your comment such as “through” which should be “throw” and “sToMes” should be “stones” or am I missing something there?

      John, you have pretty average and mediocre job outcomes. I notice you haven’t stated whether they are short or sustainable job goals, we will assume they are short, otherwise you would have specified it as such.

      A rival company Reed in Partnership has been reported as having a monthly conversion rate of one fifth or to put it as a figure, 8 outcomes a month from a case load of around 40. A figure of 20 job outcomes over several months is a poor figure. A “good” rate would be around 126 short job outcomes in that time from the point of view about the sheer volume of clients. The conversion rate will not be constant or linear – as in first couple of months all you have is a potential outcome and not a guaranteed one.

      You also claim to be a tutor and not an adviser which means you are probably leeching success from multiple advisers to which the pool of people in the training room shares which is likely the reason why you had credited TNG as an organisation for its part in such an achievement.

      Further comments are welcome but check under TNG’s employment terms that you are able to associate yourself in such conversation online.

      Wellwhat happens after 12 months is still less than clear for the vast majority we start back at fnd stage 1 which is just basically visiting the jobcentre again. if you live in a few areas you could be forced to go on a workfare/work for your benefits scheme.

      6 months slave labour for your DSS payment which i beleive is about 65.00 and you have o work get this for anything upto 40 hours doing anything. You have no rights. My advice would be for you to start seeing and complaining bitterly to your mp. Write letters and make a fuss. sorry to shout UNLESS A FUSS IS MADE THIS GOVERNMENT WONT LISTEN
