Employment Schemes

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made on implementing the proposals outlined in the Get Britain Working White Paper.

Answer

We are progressing with the delivery of our proposals through:

  • Transformation of jobcentres to support people into and on in work.
  • Work with local areas to tackle economic inactivity.
  • A Youth Guarantee for 18-21's in England to benefit from education, training or help to find work.

We have secured £240 million of funding which we will use to develop tests and trials for the digital aspect of the new national jobs and careers service, to introduce trailblazers to tackle economic inactivity in England and Wales and offer support for the development of local Get Britain Working plans.
