Youth Jobs Grant

Engineer and trainee

The Youth Jobs Grant is being introduced by the UK Government.

If you're an employer and ready to hire someone aged 18 to 24 who has been on Universal Credit for six months or more and is looking for work, you could qualify for the Youth Jobs Grant of £3,000 per eligible hire.

Jobs must be at least 25 hours per week and expected to last at least 4 months to be eligible for a Youth Jobs Grant.

To find out more about how the Grant can help you with funding to recruit a young person, download the Youth Jobs Grant Toolkit.
