Government urges businesses to give young people a chance

The government has said that there is funding available for businesses looking to grow by employing young people this year.

According to the Department of Work and Pensions, a new campaign called Youth Contract: Works for me will aim to raise awareness of the £1 billion kitty that is available to businesses offering support to help 18 to 24 year-olds into work.

Minister for employment Mark Hoban is particularly keen to highlight the fact that there are 160,000 wage incentives that are part of the package, which will give firms up to £2,275 when they employ a young person who has been out of work for six months or more.

"There really is no better time to change a young person's life and invest in the future of your business at the same time, so snap up the money before someone else beats you to it," he added.
