HUNDREDS of paid work placements are being made available across Bradford through the Government’s Kickstart scheme, which aims to get young people aged 16 – 24 on Universal Credit back into employment. The scheme is designed to give young people at risk of long-term unemployment, six months paid work experience funded by the government, to improve their chances of finding a permanent job. Over 130 employers across the city have signed up to provide placements through the SkillsHouse Partnership, and the roles are now starting to be filled. SkillsHouse is a gateway provider, helping businesses access funding, while also providing training and support during the placement.
