Government Launches Job‌ Scheme Targeting Young People on Universal Credit

LONDON – The Department for Work adn Pensions (DWP) announced Saturday a new initiative to offer dedicated job support and ‌opportunities to ⁢900,000 young people claiming Universal Credit. The scheme will focus ‌on ⁣sectors including construction,‍ hospitality, and health⁣ and social care, with government-backed jobs available across Birmingham ⁢and Solihull, the East Midlands, Greater manchester, Hertfordshire and​ Essex, Central and eastern Scotland, and South-west and south-eastern Wales.

The program aims to provide each eligible young person with a “dedicated work support session” followed by four weeks of “intensive support”⁤ from an employment coach. These coaches will then guide participants toward ⁤one of six pathways:⁣ direct employment, work experience, apprenticeships, wider training, learning opportunities,‍ or⁣ workplace training ⁣programs guaranteeing an interview. The government anticipates over 1,000 young people‍ will begin employment within the first six months.

“Every young person deserves a fair chance to succeed. When given the right support and opportunities, they will grasp them,” said McFadden, ⁤describing the funding as “a downpayment on⁤ young people’s ⁣future.”

The‌ announcement comes as 12.7% – or 946,000 – of individuals aged 16-24 in the UK were​ classified as Not in education,​ Employment,​ or Training (NEET) in‌ the three months to ⁤September. A quarter of this group cite long-term sickness or disability as a⁤ barrier ‍to work or education, contributing to a rise in health and disability benefit ⁤claims.

The scheme has drawn criticism from the ⁤opposition. Shadow work and pensions secretary Helen ‍Whately argued,”The Chancellor’s tax hikes are driving up‌ youth unemployment,snatching a ⁤career from a generation ⁣of young people,” ⁤adding that ‍the initiative is‌ “nothing more than taking with one hand to give with the other.”

Further details are ⁤expected in the coming week ‍with the planned publication of the government’s national youth strategy. The DWP’s⁢ announcement builds on a previously revealed plan to fully fund apprenticeship training for under-25s at small and medium businesses. The government also launched an self-reliant⁢ review last‌ month to investigate the increasing number of‌ young people not currently⁣ engaged in work or study.
