The Kickstart Scheme

The Kickstart Scheme is a £2 billion fund to create thousands of 6-month work placements across England, Scotland and Wales. It's aimed at 16 to 24 year olds who are on Universal Credit and deemed to be at risk of long term unemployment. 

Eligible 16 to 24 year olds are matched with placements and they then contact the relevant employer. The employer can choose to employ the person or not. The funding will be provided once they're employed and being paid via PAYE.

We've created the following Sage Knowledgebase articles which explain more about the scheme and detail how to record the funding in Sage 50cloud Accounts:
