Degrees etc. far predates the UK welfare state of the early 1900's not to mention so-called training programmes.New Deal Scandalhttp://www.newdealscandal.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-32272228626292095042009-07-16T15:12:14.270-07:002009-07-16T15:12:14.270-07:00What this clearly proves is what I have said all a...What this clearly proves is what I have said all along - A4e and many other New Deal 'training' providers operate an LCD (lowest common denominator)policy. One size fits all seems to be the order of the day.<br /><br />So if you have a college or university qualification, as many had at the A4e office I attended in Leeds, then New Deal cannot help you, even though attending such schemes is compulsary! <br /><br />This shows the failure of New Deal. Only this govt is not big enough to admit it.imattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-62074977711236636772009-07-16T12:24:14.534-07:002009-07-16T12:24:14.534-07:00sorry lolsorry lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-13774250734793622122009-07-16T07:30:11.574-07:002009-07-16T07:30:11.574-07:00"New Deal Scandal" left a comment which ..."New Deal Scandal" left a comment which I've had to edit slightly:<br />What a bunch of s****. What does he mean about the programmes not being designed for those with "higher skills"? So overcrowding, drab surroundings and preventing someone finding work are all attributes which are unacceptable for those who have "higher skills" but those who don't fall in this category should put up with such inhumane conditions?
