The Kickstart Scheme is a six-month high-quality work placement designed to get long-term unemployed young people onto 6-month work placements.
Work OpportunitiesThe government has introduced a new Kickstart Scheme with a £2 billion fund to create hundreds of thousands of high quality 6-month work placements aimed at those aged 16 to 24 who are on Universal Credit and are deemed to be at risk of long term unemployment.
Funding available for each job will cover the National Minimum Wage for 25 hours a week, plus the associated employer National Insurance contributions and employer minimum automatic enrolment contributions.
The Kickstart Scheme will directly pay employers to create new jobs for six months provided they:
· Can prove that the role is a new job and addition to the company;
· Hire young workers aged between 16-24 years of age;
· Hire workers that are currently claiming Universal Credit;
· Made the young recruits work for a minimum of 25 hours per week and paid at least the National Minimum Wage.
