Provider setting someone up to fail

I have listed several articles touching on the Jobcentre and associated service providers being driven by targets and payment by results. I find this post on the National Autistic Society message board particularly troubling as the provider appeared to have deliberately set this person up to fail, pushing them into applying for jobs they weren't suitable for or qualified to do, even telling them to lie about experience, qualifications and health, just to 'get the job'. The person was, when employed, fired for not disclosing their health problems.
