What is Kickstart?
What is Kickstart?
A £2bn fund launched by the government to pay for 6 month work placements for 16 to 24-year-olds. The scheme is aimed at those who are on Universal Credit, potentially school leavers or those who have had job offers withdrawn.
Funding will cover 100% of the relevant National Minimum Wage for 25 hours a week plus NI & Auto Enrolment Pension Contributions. The Employer has the choice to top up the pay or the hours as needed. The placement can last up to a maximum of 6 months with government funding.
After this, you can hire the young person or let them find other opportunities elsewhere.
