The Kickstart Scheme provides funding to employers to create new 6-month job placements for young people who are currently on Universal Credit and at risk of long-term unemployment.
Unfortunately, Kickstart Scheme participants cannot also undertake an apprenticeship. The good news is that Sixth Sense will be happy to enrol participants who have successfully finished their Kickstart position and been offered a permanent role within their organisation.
