Things were a bit different than when my son participated in the program in 2017, which you can read about by clicking here. The intake processes were similar. Participants were required to submit synonymous documentation to the Mploy office, documents that could and should have been uploadable to the Mploy website.
Submitting required documentation electronically would have saved a lot of time and hassle for both Mploy staff and participants and their parents and/or individuals who were responsible for getting participants to and from required Myploy events...
Participants were required to attend an event at a local church where they'd interact with participating employers. Because there were so many participants, all were not capable of interacting with the attending companies though any participants who had not been previously assigned to any company (including my daughter) were assigned during this event after waiting in very extensive lines...
Some participants were told that they could leave and that they would be contacted the following week. We decided to continue waiting to improve chances of my daughter being assigned to a company, since she had not received the email that some other participants had received informing them of the companies they had been assigned to...
...All participants should have been allowed to attend what should have been a job fair to get a gist of any prospective employer prior to selection or being assigned to either company. My daughter took it upon herself to select prospective employers before I'd had the chance to peruse the entire list, though she did include a few of the companies that I felt would be ideal for her. It would be a company with which I was not particularly thrilled to which she would be assigned...
My daughter was assigned to a day care center. This was not the issue. One of my selections was a childcare facility. It was the name of the daycare center that my daughter was assigned to, among other things, that concerned me or gave me a vibe that some individuals with whom I do not want a connection had been given access to my daughter.
I contemplated not allowing her to participate. The fact that my daughter was so excited about having a job and it would have devastated her had I pulled her from the program is the reason I decided to allow her to participate and closely monitor her participation.
Some things that perked my antennas were that my daughter was assigned to work with a child who would run and open an exit door and attempt to go outside and on multiple occasions that I took my daughter's lunch to her there were no staff members or students visible and no one responded for substantial lengths of time when I rang the door bell.
On one occasion when my daughter and other employ participants/daycare staff were to oversee the children while they played in water my daughter was not present outside with the other staff and children when I walked around to the side of the building where the water events were occurring after no one responded when I rang the doorbell.
When I asked the teacher who my daughter had been assigned to work with where she was, she stated that she had sent her inside to change a child. It made me very uncomfortable.
Though the daycare center where my daughter was assigned to work gave her a very positive review, I'm making it my point to be involved in the actual selection of her next prospective Mployer. Parental approval of selected prospective Mployers should be a requirement...
