My major problem with this
Is that effectively these people are employed during these placements. If they are doing a job then why not at least pay them the minimum wage whilst they are doing it regardless of whether a position is being offered at the end of it? Personally I would be much more inclined to take the opportunity to earn a bit of extra cash if i was unemployed. The employer could make up the difference in wages whether that employer would be the council or a corporation.
