Jobs Guarantee

Could your business benefit from six months of funded wages?

Too many young people are leaving education and not getting the chance to work. The Jobs Guarantee is a key element of the Government’s commitment to breaking the cycle of long-term unemployment for young people.

A part of the wider Youth Guarantee, the scheme will guarantee fully funded, six-month paid jobs to all eligible 18 to 24-year-olds who have been on Universal Credit and looking for work for 18 months.  

The Jobs Guarantee is expected to support over 90,000 young people over the next three years.
