PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Kickstart Scheme (10 May 2022)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate her Department has made of the average length of time that a person who gets a job through the Kickstart Scheme stays in that job.

Asked by:
Alison McGovern (Labour)

Answer

The Department for Work and Pensions will be monitoring and evaluating the Kickstart scheme throughout its implementation and will continue to evaluate the longer-term outcomes for Kickstart participants after they have completed their six-month Kickstart jobs. This will include an estimate of the young people that remained employed following the conclusion of the six-month Kickstart job (either with their Kickstart employer or moving into a job with a different employer), as well as the number of young people no longer in employment upon leaving a Kickstart role. We aim to publish the findings of the evaluation once complete.
