How does it work?
You can use the Kickstart Scheme to create new, fully-funded 6-month job placements for young people who are currently on Universal Credit and at risk of long-term unemployment.

The funding will pay for 100% of the relevant National Minimum Wage for 25 hours a week, plus associated employer National Insurance contributions and employer minimum automatic enrolment contributions. There is also an upfront grant of £1,500 per job placement available for setup costs, support, and training.
Is the scheme an apprenticeship?
Kickstart is not an apprenticeship, but participants may move on to an apprenticeship at any time during, or after their job placement.
