Boosting job prospects of young people - Kickstart programme
The Kickstart scheme, aims to secure quality job roles for unemployed young people between the ages of 16-24, for a minimum of 25 hours a week for a period of six months.
Amey has been identifying suitable roles across the UK and has developed a robust programme that enables young people on the scheme to build their confidence, experience and skills in the workplace through on the job training, as well as having learning and development opportunities, boosting their long-term job prospects.
In total, Amey has pledged to provide at least 60 six-month placements across the business and will where possible offer full-time roles. Amey is committed to making sure the young people enrolled are offered a career path, and where possible an apprenticeship following the six-month funding period.
