I've being keeping a eye on and contributing to the thread "The Jobbridge Scandal" http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056987239, which has a lot of contributors and most of the posts add a lot to the thread, a few weeks ago it got a bit side-tracked with posts focusing on specific dubious JB positions, (some of which were reported and thankfully removed afterwards) so I taught a dedicated thread for these internships could be worthwhile

Let's try keep this thread about specific positions, with only minor philosophical discussions on the side regarding the position in question and totally avoid all personal comments and discussion of the overall programme as per a Mod's recommendation on a similar thread that is now closed, personal comments about the Job Bridge programme could be added to the before mentioned thread accompanied with link above

Great idea, hope it gets some attention and shames some of these so-called employers into taking down their listings.
I spend about two hours on various job sites every day and have done for months, am close to pulling my hair out.
Looking for most anything that pays minimum wage full time and every time I'm met with "The intern will.."

Googling the address tells you which business it is.

I started keeping a note of these last year but gave up after 30-something.
The whole thing is a joke.

Lads ... just a though:

If you put in names, phone number, emails .. then we simply have to snip them - it's boards.ie rules.

Naming businesses is ok (I think, will be checking this with the other mods) - but personally I'd prefer if you could provide screenshots, rather than just saying "It's Acme Enterprises in Shop St" - otherwise once the ad is taken down, there's no proof that it really was that company.

Here is a mad idea how about people post roles that seem really good. Jobsbridge has a very high success rate so while it is being abused it is also highly effective

What does the hapless trainee do for the rest of the 9 months???

I think that the term for such basic entry level trainee positions is far too long. There should be a 1 month trainee position at such levels not 9 months which is far too long for the amount of knowledge and skill in these jobs and displaces low skilled workers such as under 25's and students.

Thank God that firms are only allowed to have 10 percent of their labour force in Job-bridge. I also think that the 40hr stipulation for €230 as applies to single people not living at home is sheer slavery...not to mention much lower rates for younger people living at home. Some people would earn that in a day not mind in a week, i know some builders labourers and handymen charging €150 a day, how can the govt justify €150 pw as applies to under 23's living at home with no means. ( ie if their parents are high earners it is even less...)

Imagine an internship where your duty is getting people a job.
