Learning a trade? Gainful employment? Now that is something I can get behind!

I agree 100%.

Are they allowed to discriminate against people living outside the borough. I hope they are but somehow doubt it.
Could they also restrict to British nationals or at least people who have been in British education since age 11.
Somehow we have to get some of the native youths in employment.

Like most things in life, it is up to the individual to get out there and go for it. So if you see any young folk who may be interested, give them these details...

An excellent communicator ... using your excellent organisational skills

If someone really is excellent in such ways, why should they be paid less than the London living wage?

Also - what should people do if there aren't enough jobs on offer?

Answers, please, not on the back of a preconceived set of political attitudes.

[Eagle]

They should take the job if they do not have one to gain experience.
Eight pounds an hour is more than no pounds an hour.

This is only a few months contract an ideal work experience.
