<p>We are fully committed to the delivery of Youth Hubs, which are an integral part
of our wider DWP Youth Offer. Youth Hubs bring together Work Coach employment support
and place-based services from local partnerships to help young people into work.</p><p>
</p><p>The Spring Budget 2023 committed to the extension of the Youth Offer until
2028, with funding beyond 2024/2025 to be determined by a future spending review.
We published Youth Hub funding details in <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2023-06-19/190112"
target="_blank">PQ 190112</a>. Alongside this, we recently expanded eligibility for
the Youth Offer allowing more young people on Universal Credit to see a Work Coach
in a Youth Hub, receive intensive support at the start of their claim or to benefit
from the expertise of our Youth Employability Coaches.</p><p>The Youth Offer, including
Youth Hubs, is subject to a Process Evaluation. Early emerging findings are being
shared internally and will inform any improvements or future changes to the Youth
Offer policy. The process evaluation will continue until Spring 2024. We aim to publish
the findings once complete.</p>
