Kickstart youth employment scheme labelled ‘chaotic’ while failing to deliver for young people, employers or taxpapers
Chancellor Rishi Sunak during the launch of the government's £2bn Kickstart scheme, as the youth employment scheme launched by the government has been branded ‘chaotic,’ failing to deliver for young people, employers or taxpayers
A £1.9 BILLION youth employment scheme launched by the government has been branded “chaotic” while failing to deliver for young people, employers or taxpayers.
The public accounts committee (PAC) said that the Kickstart programme has supported far fewer young people than predicted.
MPs said that they supported the intention of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to support young people into work in what was expected to be a downturn in employment opportunities because of the pandemic.
