saunaman Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Welfare to Work firm Maximus has Government contracts worth £176 million to run IDS's Work Programme in London and the South East . This is a firm with some well-dodgy history of massive failures in the US . When will this government wake up to the fact that these "Welfare to Work" companies are a joke , and start investing in REAL apprenticeships in vocational stuff such as plumbing , electrics , in fact all the proper skills this country needs ( no nail technicians , please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
