Work experience for job seekers – good or bad idea?

I’m interested in people on Job Seekers Allowance (JSA)

I was wondering if people that are on JSA would be prepared to work a maximum of 15 hours (2 days) per week on work experience placements. They could be paid £50/day, £100 per week. The placements could last for four weeks, therefore total of 8 days.

The placements could provide valuable work experience, networking with other workers and the possiblity of full-time employment.

I believe that Job Seekers are allowed to work less than 16 hours per week to remain “signed on”. Obviously they would not be allowed to receive their normal allowance of £65.40 / week during the four weeks as they would be earning £100 / week. After their four week placement they would automatically return to their allowance without the hassle of having to resign back on

If you’re a job seeker what do you think if the idea?
