JSA group meeting

Dublinhurler

Hi,

Just got a letter to attend a group session. I am not too long on JSA. Can anyone tell me what happens at these group meetings? Do they help you get a job or give you advise or what is it all about?

Cheers TIA

If only they helped you to get a job.

Got this yesterday.

Rang them up to see could they take me off as I'm going back to college in 3 weeks(switching from L7 to L8 so have to reapply for BTEA) and she said id be best advised to go along.

I had to go before when I was starting college and sit for an hour hearing how I should go to college etc when I was already going.

I then told the woman after and was STILL given a 1 to 1 appointment for 9am which lasted 30seconds(once I told him my story he sent me on).

My understanding from the call was you can get away with non attending once, anyone confirm?.
I'd be back in college in 3 weeks so wouldn't be enough time to get called again.
The letter mentions "without good cause" or to that effect but its hard to tell would " college attendee" cover that or is it more "at a family members funeral".

You would need a good excuse. Hospital appointment, interview and proof may be asked for.
