Question:i qualified with a degree in june. im unable to find any job in my area or surrounding areas and so went on social welfare - jobseekers allowance for the time being. i have decided to return to college this september to carry out further education in a part time course, 2 days a week. the problem is there still isnt any jobs suitable for my degree. i would rather volunteer and build up my experience which will stand me me more rather than work in a weekend type of job. i know that you cant be on social welfare if you are in full time education. but basically i cant get a job unless i move away, and the college is local. so as the course is part time, are there any benefits or entitlements i can get just to get me through the college year, besides a college grant...

Having been through the same experiences, let me share this: If you do volunteer work while on Jobseeker's allowance and declare it, the Jobcentre does not pay your National Insurance because you are not seeking work when working voluntarily. When you get a job you then have to make up your missing contributions.
Since you need money to live, you are better off working part-time in a minimum wage job while studying than relying on benefit.
Try to explore the possibility of using your qualifications and knowledge in a work-from-home or self-employed basis as there is more security in five part-time jobs than in one full-time and the payments roll in several times a month instead of just once a month.
while on job seekers any money you earn must be declared. Try looking for a course through the European Social Fund - that means you still get job seekers with extra money from ESF.
