Yep, Workfare is definitely far worse than Jobbridge (the Irish scheme); in particular Jobbridge is not mandatory (or even particularly common) and the internship has to provide useful experience and training (though there has been abuse of this; a major supermarket chain was advertising shelf-stacking jobs as Jobbridge internships for a while before getting caught).
