lubylou Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Yup, get a part time job. Sheesh, imagine that, having to work. You try getting a part time job for my 17 year old son, and he would be very happy, he has applied for loads, but guess what? Nothing , because he is 17 and has no experience, nobody is interested.

virgoen18 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 can anyone tell me how to apply for 16 to 19 bursaries, untill my daughter gets a part time job, thankyou Your daughter will need to apply directly to the College/Sixth Form she is attending. Student Services will be able to help her on applying. She is guaranteed £1200 if she is classed as a vulnerable learner meaning she falls in to the following categories;young people in care, care leavers, young people receiving income support, and disabled young people receiving both Employment Support Allowance and Disability Living Allowance. If she doesn't meet the criteria above I doubt very much she will get any kind of money from the bursary fund. Colleges have been allocated very little therefore there won't be money left in the pot once the vulnerable learners have been paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing , because he is 17 and has no experience, nobody is interested. All the Sat and Sun jobs that 17 year olds used to do have now been taken up by Eastern Europeans who get government incentives and send their earnings home making England poorer. It is time to break the chain. I went to Boston, it is full of foreign potato pickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love_rat Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I should hope they get a job. I'm not kidding, I pay my taxes to listen to people moaning. The students go to college, they swear, daub graffiti on the walls and listen to loud music - rapping music and mick jagger, when I was there age I was at work and if I did something wrong, the foreman would take me out of the workshop and into his office. I can assure you that when I left the office my backside was very sore. We didn't expect EMA, we expected hard labour and the foreman certainly made it very hard for all the apprentices back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It's 35 years since I was 16, but I'm sure the thought of actually being paid to carry on at school after the age of 16 and do some A-levels never entered our heads - we just did it.
