Has anyone tried these council run "Pathways to work" schemes?

Hello,

I have recently started on a council run pathways to work scheme.

I have experience but due to a combination of poor luck, poor health and the job market I have found myself out of work for nearly two years now. I signed up after finding Indeed, Reed and the like were unhelpful.

However I can't say i'm impressed to be honest, my job coach is struggling to build relationships with employers, she really struggles on computers and I'm not sure what the benefit of our weekly meetings are? I have to end up doing the things we are supposed to do in session or the next 3-4 weeks will be spent just doing forms. 

I am a bit disappointed after attaching so much hope to this scheme, has anyone else had any experience for better or worse with a similar scheme?
