The Government are aware of the problems facing young jobseekers in the labour market and have put in place a substantial menu of provision to help them move into work.<\/p>
The Youth Contract provides intensive support for all 18-24 year olds. Extra funding is being made available to support the most vulnerable 16 and 17 year olds not in education, employment or training into learning, an apprenticeship or job with training.<\/p>
<\/p>
This comprehensive package of support is enhanced by the Flexible Support Fund, which Jobcentre Plus District managers can use to address locally identified skills needs. Also, the Work Programme provides tailored support to those claimants furthest from the labour market.<\/p>
<\/p>
Additionally, on the 14th<\/sup> of November, the Deputy Prime Minister announced that funding of £50m Youth Contract under spend would be made available to cities.<\/p> For the Sheffield City Region they received £5m to offer intensive adviser and mentor-led support for young people alongside a specialist training programme aimed at equipping young people with the right skills to match local employer needs.<\/p>"}
