If it helps people back into the work force then it is a positive.
Which is already available in all manner of forms and resources: Given the amount of resources already available (see my previous post) - I'd say that it amounts to a certain degree of some wanting mollycoddled and having someone else do all the ground work for them.

I am also referring to the blocks that some job seekers place on being able to being offered employment: some i do feel limit their choices due to their own lack of flexibility - but use that as excuses for not finding work.

If I had decided I was only going to seek employment in a company that I did not need to use my car to reach the workplace , that was within walking distance of my home, that I would only work Monday to Friday and ony between the hours of 10am to 4pm, would not consider any other hours, would not consider anything less that £17 per hour and wanted flexi-time, provided me with health benefits etc - I'm pretty sure I'd have found it damned hard to be re-employed so quickly.

This is the angle I am coming from.
