job bridge hourly rate

maybe this should be letting off steam ?
was talking to my niece who is on a job bridge scheme
she is single ( €188 plus job bridge €50 = €238
she works around 39 -40 hours
€238 / 39 hours = €6.10 min wage is €8.65 i think ?
how does this stand legally
this 39 hour week is stated on jobbridge website so host employer is not at fault ,
my rough figures at €8.65 rate €238/€8.65 = 27.51 max hours

It just shows up these schemes as enforced slavery.

But she is not employed by the company. It's clear it's an internship, not an employment opportunity. And it's effective with over 60% progressing to paid employment.

I do think a minority of companies exploit it, and don't offer any meaningful training or upskilling. In any case I think most companies top up the €50 to some extent, either paying for travel, or giving bonuses.

I predict an expansion of this in the budget.
