Answer
The aim of the Kickstart Scheme is to fund the creation of additional jobs for young people at risk of long-term unemployment. The job placements created with Kickstart funding must be new jobs and must not replace existing or planned vacancies.
All organisations applying for Kickstart funding will need to provide evidence that any Kickstart roles they plan to create are additional jobs and are not replacements for existing jobs, before they receive any funding.
