There are currently 900,000 young people who are not in education employment or training and this number has been steadily increasing.<\/p>
The Department understands the negative effects of unemployment can be particularly pronounced for young people and can have longstanding implications on their future earnings potential and life chances. This is why DWP have a particular focus on ensuring young people are supported into employment, whilst also recognising their needs will vary depending on where they live and their own individual circumstances.<\/p>
Getting Britain working again is critical to growing the economy. This includes implementing a new national jobs and career service to help get more people into work alongside a Youth Guarantee, meaning training, an apprenticeship or help to find work for all young people aged 18-21 years old, to prevent them becoming excluded from the world of work at a young age.<\/p>
DWP currently provides young people aged 16-24 with labour market support through an extensive range of interventions at a national and local level. This includes flexible provision driven by local need, nationwide employment programmes and support delivered by work coaches based in our Jobcentres and in local communities working alongside partners.<\/p>
<\/p>
Under the previous regime, DWP Youth Offer first launched in September 2020, with the aim to maximise employment outcomes for\u202f18 \u2013 24-year-olds\u202fclaiming Universal Credit (UC) and to minimise the long-term impacts of unemployment, by providing intensive support early in a claim.<\/p>

There are three main elements to the Youth Offer, delivered by DWP work coaches:<\/p>
