<p>My Department works closely with a range of partners including local authorities,
key stakeholders and colleagues in other Government Departments - including the Department
for Education, Department for Media, Culture and Sport and HMT - to set common objectives
on how we deal with the future challenges around youth employment and monitor how
we are providing support.</p><p> </p><p>From September 2020 we started the implementation
of the new DWP Youth Offer for all 18 to 24 year olds. This includes the introduction
of our Youth Employment Programme, during which young people will be referred to the
most appropriate support. We have also implemented DWP Youth Hubs and DWP Youth Employability
Coaches.</p><p> </p><p>We have launched the Kickstart Scheme, dedicated to helping
those young people at risk of long term unemployment develop their skills and experience
through thousands of 6-month job placements.</p><p> </p><p>We will continue to monitor
our policies and processes to ensure young unemployed people are effectively supported
during this unprecedented time.</p>
