Just for the record, CTC's obligation does not end after your initial 6 month contract. Not sure about the contracts being handed out nowadays but back in the day (well 3 years ago!) your association with CTC ended once you had been employed on a permanent basis (i.e. a full time contract after your 6 month training contract), or, after you had been in the holding pool over a certain period of time (can't remember how long). CTC will continue to work hard to get you placed on a permanent basis and that is one of the benefits of the Wings scheme. Granted, that's a fairly hard task in today's market but they will not just cut you loose and I know that from personal experience.
