The Scheme was a temporary response to protect young people from the risk of the scarring effects of long-term unemployment caused by the pandemic.</p><p> </p><p>Kickstart was designed to deliver value for money in uncertainty and successfully responded to huge variations in the labour market and delivery context, including major Covid-19 restrictions, the closure of the Covid Job Retention Scheme and the extension of the scheme for an additional three months. The ongoing economic recovery, with 1.3 million vacancies available in the labour market, now means there is plenty of opportunity for young people to find unsubsidised work.</p><p> </p><p>Kickstart closed to applications from employers and gateways on 17 December 2021 with the final job starts taking place on 31 March 2022. The last Kickstart jobs will come to an end on 30 September 2022.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 17/06/2022 13:31:51 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
