“it should be a good CV to get a government job, " trained by a clown"”

“Englander...as usual, same idiotic comment. If people so desperately want to work then they will find work. Seems the one's who are lazy, don't want to work etc are happy to use the "agency" excuse. Do people actually try applying directly to the company. Applying online via the job seeker websites which is the most popular way now. Or the tried and tested old fashioned way of walking into a business with your CV asking them to consider for any future vacancy's. So your pathetic and repetitive "no jobs for British workers, agency's not employing British" is just a poor excuse!”

“I can't think of a more motivated organisation than Mc Donalds to tain and give out qualifications . All you have to do is look at the original port folio of Mc Dolnalds he made the transistion into fat food outlets from his farm look easy ,when lots of others failed .Well done old Mc Donald .”

“This is a worrying development and actually confirms that the education system is failing yet some how examination results are getting better. I work for a training based company and we are seeing a sea change in how employers are required to operate especially if they want to benefit from Government funding and support. Employers are being pushed towards educating their employees in addition to training. Educating and training are fundamentally different and asking employers to prop up the education system is yet more pressure on industry. Watch this space, it is just the beginning and its wrong.”

“I agree with Englander that the job centres should be re introduced, they were a good way to look for a job and you were not ripped off.”

“englander, on another post you are commenting on how you have had a job for 40 odd years now your telling us its really hard to get a job. So which if either youve always has a job and read the daily mail to much or you dont have a job?”

“Well said Mick Dundee. Yes we know this isn't the most responsible, important job but they're hardly gona allow schoolkids into official establishments are they. Having said that they could probably do a better job than some of the morons in government but that's another matter. It doesn't matter what the job is, the qualification will reflect the dedication and experience they will learn from holding down a job and the values of being employed. To say it's a 'qualification in burger flipping' is totally missing the point.”

“brian >> I think the point is just to prove they did it as evidence if challenged on the contents of their CV.”

“mick dundee, there are a lot of scroungers as you call them, but their are no jobs to take, you have to go to agency , who fobb you off , leaches , they give jobs to migrant workers and we only have their word british dont want work , back to job center get rid of agencys you will then see british people again being employed , system is unfair.british jobs for british workers.government failed us.”

“mmm very nice a mcqualification on how to flip burgers and sell stone cold food. Top clas. hardly a highlight of news well done, scunny telegraph for reporting this”
