ABOUT THE WORK PROGRAMME

What is the Work Programme?
The Work Programme is Britain’s support service for helping people into work, and organisations like Careers Development Group have been asked to provide this support.



How is it different?
The Work Programme is very different from previous back-to-work schemes, for four key reasons.

Longer support
Before you get a job, your time on the Work Programme can last for up to two years. This means we can offer the support and training you need over a longer period of time. We can also provide you with ongoing support after you find a job, and can offer advice and training up to two years afterwards.

More support
Work Programme provides assistance to people claiming any type of out-of-work benefits. By supporting a wider variety of jobseekers than before, we can offer a wider range of support and training options on Work Programme.

One to one support
On the Work Programme, there are no set courses, days or hours in which everyone must attend. What you do is agreed between you and your advisor, and will depend entirely on what will help you to find work.

Specialist support
If you need specialist support or training to get a job, we have agreements with a wide range of organisations who can help.
