Making it easy for SMEs to apply for the Kickstart Scheme

Making it easy for SMEs to apply for the Kickstart Scheme

The UK government’s

Kickstart Scheme⁠

allows employers to create new 6-month job placements for young people who are currently on Universal Credit and at risk of long-term unemployment.

Funding is available for 100% of the relevant National Minimum Wage for 25 hours a week

There is also £1,500 per job placement available for setup costs, support and training

However, the scheme requires employers who are hiring less than 30 placements to form a consortium to apply.

This platform tries to make the process easier by:

Listing available consortiums, so SMEs can join directly:

⁠

Find a Consortium We have identified available consortiums applying to Kickstart⁠

⁠

Matchmaking between SMEs who can’t find a suitable consortium:

⁠

Interested SMEs Register so we can matchmake you with other SMEs⁠
