Employers wishing to create a really good quality Kickstart programme can now download our free Kickstart guide with key insights from young people.
In its recent work the Youth Employment Group has identified that the UK needs to create 1000 opportunities a day in order to bring youth unemployment back down to pre-covid levels. As we head into a potentially turbulent winter the immediate landscape does not look good for young people and they have already been the hardest hit by the economic impact of coronavirus.
Kickstart is just one part of the #Planforjobs announced by the treasurer and it will be important to ensure its success. Developing good quality placements for those young people who need them most will be at the heart of this webinar and attending organisations will leave with some practical resources and tips to develop their own #YouthFriendly Kickstart Programme.
Youth Employment UK has created a Kickstart Guide for Employers to help support and advise them to create a good quality Kickstart Programme for the Candidate.
Why is our Kickstart guide youth-friendly?
This resource has been created by Youth Employment UK to support employers and gateway organisations looking to create Kickstart Programmes. We have consulted with the young people in our network to explore what a good Kickstart Programme would look like to them and have embedded their views into this guidance.
