Long Term Unemployed People: Tyne and Wear
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what programmes his Department supports which focus on long-term unemployment in the Tyne and Wear travel to work area.
- Answer
-
The Work programme provides support, work experience and training for up to two years to help claimants that are long-term unemployed or face significant challenges, to find and stay in work.
Claimants who do not find sustained work during their time on the Work programme receive intensive Jobcentre Plus support to build on their time on the Work programme. From April 2014, under ‘Help to Work’, this will be expanded to include community work placements.
There are a number of local projects in the Tyne and Wear area that offer support to unemployed people, including the long-term unemployed that have completed the Work programme.
