<p>The most recent data available is for the 8 May 2022. At that point over 162,600
Kickstart jobs had been started by young people. The last Kickstart jobs were started
by young people on 31 March 2022, and we expect the number of starts to increase further
as employers report commencement of employment.</p><p>We have previously published
the number of jobs approved and advertised as of 31 January 2022, <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2022-01-31/114956"
target="_blank">here.</a> At that point, over 235,000 jobs had been advertised and
over 305,000 had been approved. Kickstart has now closed to employer applications
and, as of March 2022, all approved jobs proceeding to the advertisement stage, have
been advertised. As such, these totals will not increase further.</p><p>Below are
tables listing the number of Kickstart jobs which have been made available and started
by young people to date by geographical area of Great Britain and work sector. The
figures used are correct as of the 8 May 2022 and these figures have been rounded
according to departmental standards.</p><p>Jobs made available (advertised) and job
starts quoted here include some unfunded Kickstart jobs. Also included in the Great
Britain total are a small number of jobs made available (less than 100 in total) that
have an unrecorded job location.</p><p>The number of approved jobs is defined as the
number of jobs associated with approved applications recorded on the Kickstart application
system on the date above. This total excludes approved jobs that have been withdrawn
from the Kickstart Scheme by agreement with employers and gateways. This is generally
because, over time, some previously approved jobs were removed where the employer
chose not to follow up the application.</p><p>Although care is taken when processing
and analysing Kickstart applications, referrals and starts, the data collected might
be subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system, which
has been developed quickly.</p><p>The management information presented here has not
been subjected to the usual standard of quality assurance associated with official
statistics but is provided in the interests of transparency. Work is ongoing to improve
the quality of information available for the programme.</p><p><strong>Table 1: Number
