DWP Job Guarantee Grants

Youth Guarantee will soon be rolled out across the UK in Spring.   This will be done in a phased approach, with Phase one initially only in 6 areas across the UK, of which East and Central Scotland Districts are included, before national role out across the UK in the Autumn.

 

In a different approach from Kickstart, the sourcing of the job placements will be delivered by organisations who successfully apply for grant funding to deliver the program (in Kickstart – this was DWP resourced).     The window for organisations to apply for grant funding opened yesterday.
