The Head Start programme offers a supported work experience placement for young people who are furthest away from the labour market.
Referrals are made through Jobcentre Plus on a voluntary basis for young people aged 18-24.
Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG), along with mentoring and key worker support will be provided to each young person throughout placements which will address any barriers and help reconnect them to the labour market.
Every young person on the programme will be entitled to a travel card of up to £80.
How you can help:
All we ask is that you offer a four week work placement in an entry level job and provide supervision to the young person, with support from a dedicated key worker.
