Below is a very brief introduction to the scheme :

The Kickstart Scheme provides grant funding to employers to create new 6-month job placements for young people who are :

1. Currently on Universal Credit and

2. At risk of long-term unemployment.

The first placements are likely to be available from November.

This is part of the government’s Plan for Jobs. This aims to create hundreds and thousands of new, fully funded jobs across England, Scotland and Wales.
