    Has anyone done a job-bridge internship over a WPP1/WPP2 internship? What were your experiences? Is it any different to the WPP internships? I would be very interested as I am considering applying for a Job-Bridge internship over a WPP internship as there is more internships for those in my field with Job-bridge over a WPP. Just wondering if I were to do an evening course part time would I still be able to do an internship with job-bridge/wpp? Any information be great! Thanks

    I was told that WPP does not exist anymore, Job Bridge has replaced it.
    By taking an internship, technically you're still unemployed, so you should be able to take other free courses to the unemployed.
    I applied to a number of Job Bridge positions, got to an interview stage with two. The guy said there were 40 guys who met the criteria to the position...
    My impression is that a lot of employers are using WPP / JobBridge to hire employees for free that would do a job of a full time employee with fairly good skills.

    Oh right, didn't know that. Interesting. Thought all that they be doing would be that any of those on the WPP's can convert to a Job-bridge internship but didn't know that the WPP's are to be replaced by job-bridge, makes more sense I suppose.
