The government’s new Kickstart Scheme provides funding to create job placements for 16 to 24 year olds on Universal Credit who are at risk of long term unemployment. If you are thinking of creating a new post, and would like to invest in the candidate’s future, it would be wise to consider both Kickstart and the existing Apprenticeship scheme.
