The Job Entry Targeted Support (JETS) scheme is part of the UK Government’s £2 billion ‘Plan for Jobs’ programme and is designed to help jobseekers who are recently unemployed and need some extra support to find work, particularly those individuals who’ve been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The scheme offers support for up to six months and aims to have jobseekers back in employment or self-employment within that timeframe.
Participants will have a dedicated employment advisor who will provide advice, guidance and support through a range of workshops, such as helping to update a CV, interview coaching and identifying transferable skills to empower jobseekers to seek sustainable employment in growing sectors.
Who is JETS for?
To be eligible, participants must:
Be working age (18 years old to state pension age)
Have been unemployed and in receipt of one of the above benefits for at least 13 weeks
Be motivated to find work and require light-touch employment support
