Kickstart is a Government initiative through the Department for Work & Pensions.
An employer can recruit a young person (up to the age of 25) on Universal Credit to a job and DWP will pay the salary + on-costs at National Minimum Wage for 25 hours / week for 6 months. In addition, each young person comes with a grant of £1500 to pay for additional employability support and vocational training to ensure that person is more employable after the six months.
As a Gateway, we are providing both employability support and 60 hours of tutor-delivered training from a choice of Digital Skills for Business courses: coding & web design; digital content production; design, and digital marketing. These are all created from our Ofsted graded apprenticeship provision.
The funding for the wages and training comes to you via us.
We also provide a line of defense from the inevitable paperwork, monitoring, and audit risk that comes with any Government funding.
