We are excited to be supporting FIESTA to help employers to access the £2 billion Kickstart Scheme and create job placements for 16 to 24 year olds who are currently on Universal Credit and at risk of long-term unemployment.

The Government will fund 100% of the relevant National Minimum Wage for 25 hours a week, plus associated employer National Insurance contributions and employer minimum automatic enrolment contributions.

In addition, businesses taking on a Kickstart candidate can apply for £1,500 per job placement available for setup costs, support and training.
