<p>The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is committed to supporting everyone
who has been affected by the unprecedented impact of COVID-19 on the economy and the
labour market. We want everyone to be able to find a job, progress in work and thrive
in the labour market.</p><p>Through the Plan for Jobs, the government invested £33
billion in measures to create, support and protect jobs.</p><p>The Plan for Jobs package
includes the Kickstart Scheme, aimed at creating new, fully subsidised jobs for young
people aged 16 to 24 on Universal Credit. This is further supported by the DWP Youth
Offer (18 to 24 year olds making a Universal Credit claim), so every young person,
whatever their background or challenge, gets the chance to shape their own future.</p><p>Most
recently, the Restart Scheme started in June, will support all age groups, who have
been unemployed for over 12 months, providing intensive and tailored support to help
their entry into work. We know from experience that tailored provision can have a
real impact on supporting people after an extended period out of work.</p><p> </p><p>
