Kickstart Scheme
(asked on 26th April 2021) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many eligible young people have been referred to the Kickstart scheme to date.
This question was answered on 29th April 2021
As of 22nd April 2021, our Work Coaches have made over 603,000 referrals to Kickstart jobs. Young people on the Kickstart Scheme can be referred to multiple Kickstart jobs and several young people can be referred to each job.
Once a referral is made, individual employees interview, review and hire young people to placements as they would for other jobs.
