Michael Fabricant will be hosting a free online webinar for local business who could benefit from the Government’s Kickstart Scheme.

“The webinar will be attended by experts from the Department of Work and Pensions who can go into the specifics and answer questions from local firms” says Michael Fabricant.  “The scheme pays for 25 hours employment a week including National Insurance contributions and enrolment costs with further funding available, up to £1,500, for training and any equipment or uniforms.  £2 billion has been invested by the Government into the scheme which will create hundreds of thousands of quality 6 month job placements for 16-24 year olds who are at risk of long term unemployment.

“As we ease ourself out of lock-down, this initiative will be of real value to local firms as well as to unemployed youngsters.”

The webinar will be held online at 2pm on Friday 26^th March.

Anyone interested in participating should contact Elaine Jones at the Department of Work and Pensions by either emailing her at   elaine.jones@dwp.gov.uk or calling her on 07795 978 158

“As a former businessman, I can really see the value of Kickstart” Michael adds.
