They paid for my partners SIA training and badge, but only after he got a letter from a company saying they would employ him once he had it. Unfortunately this company then stuck him on a 0 hour contract which is not much good when trying to run a house..0 hour contracts are brilliant for those still living with mummy and daddy, or people working just for a top up to their partners wage, but not to people in the real world. Unfortunately most security jobs require experience along with a sia license...so hes still there getting ridiculously erratic hours at the original company, whilst we have to claim top up benefits some weeks and not others...which in itself is a nightmare given that the dwp take forever to sort payments out. Its mental. Luckily we have a council house at the moment so having to wait a month for a working tax credit/housing benefit payment doesn't matter so much as its quite hard for councils to kick you out for small arrears and they do tend to understand that the dwp take ages to do things. Unfortunately (but fortunately at the same time..depending on how you look at it) we are going to have to move to private accommodation as he needs to be closer for work as they claim they are offering more hours soon. Fulltime infact..and the wage is good. If they keep up their promise, alls good as we wont need any top up benefits. But if they dont..and we are having to get benefits some weeks due to no work at all or 4 hours per week...its going to be a MASSIVE problem with a private landlord. I'm actually quite scared about it all
Went off on one a bit there but yeah the jobcentre do pay for stuff like that, but its rare to find a company to agree to take you on before you are qualified really.
Also, its really not as easy as you think to get a job. Unless you are willing to do commission only work...which is a nightmare tbh, I did that when I left school
Was ok for me at the time as I was still at home, but it would be no good now. Honestly your wage varies from 0 to a few hundred, to thousands a month. Its utterly bonkers and would be impossible to budget with...plus most of the jobs are scamming other people. Whilst its good that the jobs are there, its really for the benefit of most (especially older people who we were advised to push harder to sell timeshares to) that they disappear.
