Kickstart Scheme

Answer

We are currently unable to break applications down by region. An employer can make multiple applications and, at the application stage, provide their registered address rather than the location of the jobs being applied for.

We are able to provide this information for jobs that are available for young people to apply to. Figures for 25th of February show over 30,000 have been made available for young people to apply to, including the almost 4,000 jobs that had started at that time. Below is a table showing this information split by region.

Although care is taken when processing and analysing Kickstart applications, referrals and starts, the data collected might be subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system which has been developed quickly. The management information presented here has not been subjected to the usual standard of quality assurance associated with official statistics, but is provided in the interests of transparency.

Region	Number of jobs made available for young people to apply to
East Midlands	2600
East of England	2670
London	5790
North East	1400
North West	4410
South East	3800
South West	2320
West Midlands	3030
Yorkshire and The Humber	2720
These numbers are rounded to the nearest 10. Jobs made available for young people to apply to includes 1,000 non-grant funded jobs.
