Spotted a poster advertising one of these on the JCP wall when I signed on. No information about the content was provided, but it is probably very similar to most other provision.

Has anyone else heard of these? No idea if it is a national initiative or a local offering.

I can't say I've seen and advertisment for this in my JCP 🚽. Mind you in my local JCP 🚽, the security trolls🦈 don't like people lottering in the public domains, looking at the posters???

I could only imagine what these Employability- Mechanics, would say about this old ship-wreck ⛈. Alot of 'incisor sucking', and 'dear o dear I don't like the look of that'... Sounds like another 'money💰 pit' to me 🤔.

Alas, I'm not volunteering myself for an MOT. Like you say, probably an expensive way for something to be seen to be done.

Your jobcentre sounds like no fun, Pintel. Mine is a veritable hive of social activity. There are "events" most days for you to make yourself more employable, and some poor sap gets the job of printing off a list of all the local vacancies to stick them on the wall every day. I have not seen reports in the local rag of either a royal or important politician visit so it's not like they're doing it to make a good impression. The posters on the walls always confuses me. I once asked a security guard (they're fairly chatty and laid-back here) why there were no Christmas decorations. Apparently they are banned in case they fall over & set an alarm off, yet the walls are festooned with all manner of other tat.

It's hard to say about other JCP 🚽, mine sometimes is like the 'Ministry of Information', in Orwell's 1984. Surprised there not sand bags, barbed wire, and guard 🐕s in the foyer 😧.

If I asked my Dole station, why they don't have Xmas🎄 décor. They would probably say it's not to offend, anyone. So much for integrating into society.
And heaven forbids, if they offered a Mulled wine 🍷 and mince pie to any one....

🐠 Maybe they will 'out source' this task to a Work Placement Person/MAP, of graffiti-ing the jcp's wall with the propoganda. The way you worded it, I'm surprised that they don't have a Pantomim performance on each year.

Every day in DWP Land is Pantomime Day.

I thought a jobcentre having things on to get the claimants engaging with employers & providers was the norm for a JCP. Obviously not.

The Work Experience people used to do the wall displays. Some of their wall art was almost collectable. A map of the local area with industrial estates coloured in with highlighter pens so they stood out. Another map with bits of coloured string glued on to show main bus routes. Job vacancies weren't just a dull printed list. Each employment sector was a different colour and each job would have it's own shape. It was more like being on the set of Blue Peter than being in a jobcentre. I'm getting quite emotional here that some of you don't have such a vibrant jobcentre buzzing with events and artwork.

A similar thing I witnessed. While on a 'cat sat on the mat' course. There was the usual Art🖼️ décor, of motivational quotes🏆 etc. And a gallery of successful participants...
One of my fellow patients, commented they knew one of the participants on the wall???? And informated me that job ended after 6x months, and is currently back on the Dole... I was considering informed the provider to remove the 'mug-shot' , as it is false advertising??? 🤫

As @Catwoman, commented what a dream job for Ms Helen.. 🤢

Wow, your JCP 🚽, sounds like the Louvre🖼️ art gallery compared to mine 😲. Think more 'train spotting' film (Irving Welsh), your be nearer the target. Still I am glad to hear the Art studies graduate, got there 'dream 🌜 job' working for the Dole 🚽...
So credit where credit 👍 is due, must of been a 'mare' for the wiper-snipers to polish all the artwork....

Mid-life MOT expansion to help tens of thousands assess work, wellbeing, and finances

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/mid-life-mot-expansion-to-help-tens-of-thousands-assess-work-wellbeing-and-finances.

"The jobcentre expansion will see staff sit down with older jobseekers to examine their retirement planning and help them to not only identify how to overcome barriers to employment, but also explore any avenues to help improve their earning and saving potential."

Not sure how they can use the words retirement and barriers to employment in the same sentence. As for savings, well any savings over £6000 and your benefits will start to be deducted, and any savings over £16000 and your benefit will be stopped. Not exactly a pension plan is it?

This is just another sneaky ploy to obtain your banking details to see what you have saved up so they can stop your benefits.

They're laughing at you, Helen. As a woman in her 60s she is a WASPI - she would have collecting her state pension now, not cleaning, had the pension age not been increased.

So someone can claim a bonus for training her! Restart offer NVQ in training.

On the subject of people agreeing to be in publicity materials for DWP stuff, someone I vaguely know crossed over to the dark side. When they got back into work they agreed to do one of those puff pieces for the local paper. They were photographed with their WC singing the praises of UC and how they'd still be unemployed without it!! Turncoat.

"Why would Helen need retraining to be a school cleaner,🤷"....

I have often contemplated on the 'logic' 🔮of some hr people...🤤
As I have applied for occupations, that back in the day. It was considered anyone could do, with basic motorskills... Yet I was told I didn't have the experience or qualifications, to do this unskilled labour 🙄. Any people wonder why they can't fill vacancies....

Their currently bombarding people with 'mental health circus invites, way back to work courses,.What plank comes up with these stupid moronic condescending titles. The workless, the feckless,curtain twitches ...it's pathetic, it really is,


If you really want to work? Twisted Evil ...do you? Evil or Very Mad  ...mentality. Because in their pathetic tiny minds, everyone with mental health issues can be cured by [WORKING!] they haven't a bloody clue, and heard this mentioned in the House of ..... the other day. Someone said to me yesterday, ''that we've been run by a bunch of Dickensian henchmen over the past 40 years. And those, belong way back in 1800's. ''

No wonder they cant get 'GroWfThe' on a coffee shop lead economy. Just not going to happen. Neither is, throwing billions every year just effectively bullying people already down on their luck, who cant find suitable and now it's well paid work.The latter is the only thing matters unless you can live for free. Or work for Labour and then feel, that work isn't all about a pay cheque. No, not when your paid very well.

Countries and its economies are not run by the sick and unemployed. Some need to to look closer to home.Oh look, they are, and the status quo will remain. Twisted Evil
Employability MOT 3228069604


Jobbers Xmas and New Years list of why all work isn't good for you until the day you drop.

Work can have its drawbacks for various reasons: Twisted Evil

Burnout: Constantly engaging in work without adequate rest can lead to physical and mental exhaustion. This burnout can decrease productivity and harm well-being.

Monotony: Repetitive tasks or routines without variation can become monotonous, Twisted Evil leading to boredom and a lack of motivation.

Stress: High-pressure work environments or excessive workloads can cause stress, affecting both mental and physical health negatively.

Work-Life Balance: Too much focus on work can disrupt the balance between personal life, hobbies, and relationships, impacting overall happiness and fulfillment.

Health Impact: Sedentary jobs or those with long hours may contribute to a sedentary lifestyle, affecting physical health.

Lack of Passion: Engaging in work that doesn't align with one's passions or interests can lead to dissatisfaction and a lack of fulfillment.

Conflict: Workplace conflicts or a ''toxic work environment'' can significantly impact mental health and job satisfaction. And there is plenty of that around these days.

Unemployment Stigma: Conversely, the pressure and stigma associated with unemployment or the inability to find work can also be challenging for individuals. Twisted Evil

While work can be essential for financial stability and personal growth, these reasons highlight why an excessive or unsuitable work situation might not always be beneficial. Evil or Very Mad Balancing work with other aspects of life and finding fulfilling, purposeful work can help mitigate these challenges Twisted Evil .

Let them argue the toss on all that. There are papers written by professional's online, covering aspects of psychological negative effects on people due to low paid repetitive hard work, with crappy hours to match. It's not good reading and for some reason hard find. Rolling Eyes

@Jobber, to your previous posting ( toooo long to quote..)

I feel it is negative impact from Adam Smith's work 'Wealth of Nations' and the Division of Labour ideology? 🤔...

More specifically the 'de-skilling' of Labour/trade's 🛠️. So rise of monotony, repetition, of tasks. Aswell as being able to lower wages, as being less skilled employees needed. And will most likely get worse with improvements in technology...

Pintel:''What has a vehicle's roadworthy-ness/safety. Got to do with people?'' roadworthy vehicle ensures the safety of the driver and passengers. Proper maintenance, functioning safety features, and adherence to roadworthiness standards reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, directly impacting the well-being of the individuals inside the vehicle.Thats why i had my car maintained:lol:

Pintel:" and have to be judged of are usefulness to society...👎"
I feel many will feel they are of no longer use to society Pintel, speaking from my own perspective and yet, some, feel employers are looking especially at the disabled as their such a good catch, I am disabled and and can tell the planks thinking like that that i am not a good catch. Hence my long spell of being unemployed with complex health.

"Labour ideology?" far too much of that going on and for many years. I dont see that changing with any new gov.  

Thats my rant over. Time for a coffee.

I am in similar sea's 🌊, here #Jobber....
Too many miles on the body's clock 🕰️.
The thing I would be concerned about is the results of this Body MOTs. Ended up on some database, or digital ID. So even if you 'forget' to mention your aliments in the application process. The employer can filter you out before they start. Not that they would discriminate against applicant's...😏

I sympathise Pintel. It's the people making these ludicrous decision's of work is good for ''everyone'' are likely to cause further damage to people's physical and mental health all based on nothing but idealism's.

The employers usal trick is "can you tell us when you last worked" followed by "where was that, and when/why did you leave". They have to cover themselves too, despite roach vile etc feeling they dont, hoping they will just hire any random off the street.I know some will/do, but i think they know when their flogging a dead horse so to speak.
