JobBridge is supposed to transition people into employment by helping them with skills and by giving them a CV-filler. If internships provided are not, ex ante, designed for transition into employment, any future potential employer can and will question both the validity of skills a candidate may have acquired in the internship and the validity of CV continuity. In other words, internships that are not designed to transition into a job have to be structured very very carefully to avoid being discounted by future potential employers. Somehow, I have severe doubts that our public sector is that far thinking in offering these.TrueEconomicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350536454228478974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817171247555815363.post-72885677650459842362014-12-03T20:39:37.230+00:002014-12-03T20:39:37.230+00:00Perhaps the Irish Civil Service has particular leg...Perhaps the Irish Civil Service has particular legal requirements around recruitment which means they cannot just hire someone because they were a good intern? Perhaps this arrangement has existed since the 1920s to protect against political interference? Perhaps some things cannot be understood (even by an economist) just by reading a single paragraph on the web?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817171247555815363.post-58934527565796590352014-09-28T12:42:26.351+01:002014-09-28T12:42:26.351+01:00Why the United States and the EU cannot pay the de...Why the United States and the EU cannot pay the debt of Ukraine to Russia, with the obligation to give the President of Ukraine for the production of shale gas by the Americans in favor of Europe? Is it not possible to agree with the signature of the President of Ukraine of these commitments? After all, when it is winter and Russia will cut gas supplies to Ukraine, Ukraine will face Russia on its knees, in order that the President of Russia has forgiven a debt for gas to Ukraine. Is President of the United States can allow that to happen? Winter is coming. Supply of gas to Ukraine from the territory of Russia is a matter of the lives of many people in Ukraine! Women, children, old men and old women are doomed to extinction from hunger and cold. Many urban dwellers in the cities of Ukraine will not be able to cook and FRY food for themselves. The EU can solve this problem without losing their benefits. After all, this issue could be mutually beneficial if correctly approach the resolution of this issue. Did the question of Ukraine's problems cannot be solved?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817171247555815363.post-51371710541215332702014-07-18T10:31:33.968+01:002014-07-18T10:31:33.968+01:00Perhaps those interns will now get work somewhere ...Perhaps those interns will now get work somewhere else with those new skills?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817171247555815363.post-79291430439577270152014-07-18T10:30:33.532+01:002014-07-18T10:30:33.532+01:00Perhaps those interns will get work elsewhere foll...Perhaps those interns will get work elsewhere following their stint at the Dept of Social Protection?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
