Such courses should be likely to enable them to obtain employment after the training. They should still be able to claim JSA. Loans schemes for the training can be paid back like for student loans for undergraduates. For example, a builder train to become a plumber; driver can train to become HGV, coach, driving instructor; a lawyer train to become a barrister; a nurse train to convert into other branches of nursing or health professions; a science graduate train to become forensic scientist, engineers, pharmacists, PhD, etc. By enabling long-term unemployed to retrain in a difficult period of budget austerity & labour saving IT systems & robotics, it will go a long way to solve the skills shortage in UK in key areas & the long queues of people wasting their life & skills as unemployed.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2011-12-21T07:47:24.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:45.300Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-12-21T10:33:27.000Z","closed_at":"2012-12-21T10:33:27.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-12-21T07:47:24.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":26183,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/26183.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"Excessive charges for water","background":null,"additional_details":"Our water bill has jut gone up by a 100%.it,time something was done to stop the water boards being able to put the charges up by as much as they want .we are paying almost as much for water as we do for gas.And there is only 2of us","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2011-12-21T18:04:23.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:45.404Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-12-22T13:59:00.000Z","closed_at":"2012-12-22T13:59:00.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-12-21T18:04:23.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":26193,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/26193.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"Retain Charles Darwin on new £10 notes","background":null,"additional_details":"The undersigned believe that Charles Darwin should be retained as the portrait on the Series F £10 notes issued by the Bank of England and therefore petition the Treasury to request this of the Bank of England.\r\n\r\nDarwin is more than a great Briton, he is a symbol of reason and clear-thinking known throughout the world, primarily due to attempts by holders of opposing beliefs attempting to have his theories banned from schools.\r\n\r\nHaving Darwin on our money is a sign to all the peoples of the world that we do not allow the beliefs of any minority to retard the education of our children.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2011-12-21T20:19:13.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:45.436Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-12-22T08:55:22.000Z","closed_at":"2012-06-22T07:55:22.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-12-21T20:19:13.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":26487,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/26487.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"TO PRESERVE THE UNITED KINGDOM AND OUR RIGHT TO BE BRITISH","background":null,"additional_details":"Because events are unfolding, which through a lack of guidance and leadership on the part of Parliament and this Government might leave the British People without a voice on the future of the UK, the Government is hereby petitioned to grant immediately, a United Kingdom wide Referendum which seeks a decision from the British People on the continued existence of the UK.
