Employability Support to Businesses
Kickstart
The aim of the project is to create new six month job placements for young people (16-24 years) for a minimum of 25 hours per week, currently on Universal Credit. The placements are fully funded by DWP so there is no cost to the business.
We are a Gateway for Hull Businesses so if you are interested in taking a kickstart placement call us on 01482 616 623
Employment Growth Grant
Open to all Hull Businesses creating new posts to keep an individual on -
- post apprenticeship
- Kickstart placement
- traineeship
The employee does not have to be resident of Hull, but the business does
A wage incentive paid in two stages -
- on commencement of employment - £1,000
- three months after continuous employment - £1,500
This is full time equivalent the funding will be reduced if the post is less than 37 hours.
Upskilling Funding
Open to all Hull Businesses for retention of staff or to sufficiently enhance the business to grow. For example if a member of staff requires training to use a new package or piece of machinery which would negate the need for the business to outsource.
- training cannot be a legal requirement (eg Health and Safety) or be partly funded by another grant (it must be paid in full by business)
- this is only open to Hull Businesses
- payments are 50per cent up to a maximum of £1,500 per person
- a maximum of five applications per business (one application per person)
