<p>Throughout the pandemic, the Government has provided historic levels of support
to the economy<em>. </em>DWP’s Plan for Jobs programmes, including Kickstart, are
delivering tailored support for claimants in receipt of Universal Credit to support
them into work.</p><p>Alongside Plan for Jobs measures, DWP is working across government
to support people into sectors with immediate or growing demand for jobs but with
barriers to entry. We are also working with industry to provide our work coaches with
the knowledge they need to identify suitable candidates and to develop relationships
with key employers and stakeholders in their local areas. As a result, local jobcentres
continue to connect directly with employers in their area, to discuss their recruitment
needs and to offer advice on the support available, including work trials, work experience
and Sector-based Work Academies Programmes (SWAPs).</p>
