    Hi,

    If someone applies for a work placement scheme once they've finished a Fás course and they get to keep their social welfare payments (not Fás weekly payments), are those payments increased at all? And are travel allowances paid/reimbursed if travel costs are incurred? I mean public travel.

    The person (myself) would get €100 pw on JSA usually.

    Thanks.

    Thank you.

    Sadly I have no work experience at all so I guess cheap labour is whats gonna get me some work experience.:( Ah well, hopefully once it is over (if I get it that is lol) I can get some decently paid work.
