This is something that everyone can take part in:
Where and how would people be able to get a JG job in your community?
Who is unemployed in your community? Why are they unemployed and what is happening for them?
What community needs and community groups exist that have ideas about how people could spend their time?
If we built a "fantasy job guarantee" that could provide some really concrete understanding amongst people of what this thing would really look like.
So perhaps we could start with councils and community groups, any government or NGO services in your area who might be dealing with the unemployed (Salvos, Mission Australia etc.) we could also talk to Job Network providers to find out what numbers they see each week etc.
Take notes, record videos if you can, and report back here with what you find. This could be prepared into a real world, crowd sourced case study for how the AEP could implement a JG not in some distant fantasy world but in the real world right now.

It's vital that we test our ideas in the real community. I'll be approaching Rotary & other organisations to gauge how a JG can be actualised. It would be a big change so just trying it out on unsuspecting community leaders would lead to insights.

I am setting up an event at a local cafe to see if I can get some real world feedback on what people think of a job guarantee and how it might look in my community. I've setup an event on Facebook: www.facebook.com/events/499426813595784/and created a poster which I'm putting at the cafe tomorrow morning: drive.google.com/open?id=0B0qTBI--vTSXdnE1ZG5iNE1RMnMI'll post back here with my findings. What I want to do is create a "blueprint" for how we can all run these things in our own localities to bring the idea of a JG out of the purely abstract twitter echo chamber and into a hyper local reality. When we are talking about doing work together in our own community in a way that benefits our families, I think it will seem much more ideal.
