Programmes for young people with disabilities include:</p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Young Person’s Supported Work Experience</strong> is being tested for young people aged 18-24 on Employment and Support Allowance and its equivalent in Universal Credit who have little or no work experience. Five Jobcentre Plus districts, are offering a short Supported Work Experience placement with an employer, helping them to gain confidence and encouraging them to look for work.</li><li><strong>Jobcentre Support for Schools </strong>is designed to raise aspirations and advise on routes to work for young people identified as being at risk of becoming not in education employment or training (NEET) or who are otherwise disadvantaged in the labour market, e.g. those with a health or disability issue. Work is focused on students in years 8 to 13.</li><li><strong>A Local Supported Employment Proof of Concept</strong> is being delivered with nine local authorities – including Kent County Council - to target those with a learning disability or autism who are known to adult social care, or those in contact with secondary mental health services.
