If your organisation is creating fewer than 30 job placements between now and December 2021, a Kickstart Gateway organisation can act on your behalf and manage the application process for you. The Gateway will receive a £300 per placement government payment to cover their administrative costs.
Choosing to partner with the correct Gateway for your organisation is crucial and Movement to Work advise the following:
- Interview the Gateway organisation to understand their track record of working with young people, working with employers, and financial management before you agree to fund their support
- Utilise a portion of the grant to help manage specific barriers to employment such as English and Maths skills etc.
- Understand whether your choice of Gateway will take a portion of the £1,500 setup grant and what you can expect in return
What happens to my £1,500 setup payment?
Should a Gateway indicate they will retain a portion of the £1,500 per placement setup grant, Movement to Work recommend fully understanding the services being offered in exchange.
Employers could expect to receive employability training for their placements, mentoring support, skills training e.g. Interview and CV writing support, and other additional health and wellbeing support.
Remember, the setup grant is for you, as an employer, to support the young person into role.
