The Department for Work and Pensions is committed to supporting everyone who has been affected by the unprecedented impact of COVID-19. We want everyone who can work to find a job, progress in work, and thrive in the labour market.<\/p>

Throughout the pandemic the UK Government has provided over £400 billion to support the economy, including funding for the Plan for Jobs. The Kickstart scheme has provided over 130,000 young people with Kickstart jobs, with many of these securing permanent employment. Alongside this, the Restart Scheme offers a fresh start to those who have been unemployed for over 9 months. The scheme breaks down employment barriers that could potentially prevent jobseekers from finding work.<\/p>
<\/p>
In January, we launched Way to Work, a national campaign to help half a million job ready claimants on Universal Credit into work by the end of June 2022. We are changing our approach with claimants to an A, B, C approach (Any Job, Better Job, Career) in recognition that the longer a claimant is out of work the harder it can be to find a job. We are building on the success of Kickstart to work more closely with employers to bring them into our jobcentres. We will work with employers to move claimants into work quicker, through recruitment days, job fairs and work trials.<\/p>

May-21<\/p><\/td> | 10.3<\/p><\/td> | 148<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> Note: The base population for the Into Work measure is UC claimants in the Intensive Work Search (Searching for Work) conditionality group who are not in work or who have a valid fit note in the relevant month. The Into Work rate is the proportion of these claimants who move into work the following month. These rates are calculated from DWP Management Information and are subject to revision. Figures shown here are from data as of August 2021. The Into Work volumes do not align to caseloads in the DWP Universal Credit Official Statistics due to differences in definitions and population filters. Claimants included in the Into Work rate may or may not remain in the Intensive Work Search group or on Universal Credit depending on their level of earnings and other circumstances. Claimants are identified as being in work if they have earnings in HMRC's Real Time Information data, or if they are required to report self-employed earnings. Claimants can be part of the Into Work rate in more than one month if they move in and out of periods of work.<\/p> <\/p> For the latest available information on starts on Kickstart jobs, I refer the honourable member to the answer given for PQ36791 (https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2021-07-20/36791<\/a>).<\/p> <\/p> Employment outcomes are available for Job Entry Targeted Support (JETS) in England and Wales and JETS Scotland, and provided in the table below. It should be noted that JETS provides support for up to six months and many people who have started on the scheme will not yet have had time to achieve an employment outcome.<\/p> <\/p> JETS Starts and Employment Outcomes<\/p>
