Radio 4 investigates recruitment firm which has left individuals with huge debts

January 31, 2010 by Colin

As youth unemployment continues to rise, BBC Radio 4 ‘s John Waite investigates a training operation which has left hundreds of young people around the country without the training they signed up for or the jobs they were promised. Instead they are thousands of pounds in debt. The training provider folded, the recruitment company is apparently no longer operating and now the first payments on the loans are being demanded. How did one of Britain’s biggest banks get involved in a programme which proved so worthless for many of its students?

Features interview with IITT Chief Executive Colin Steed. Listen to the programme.
