The Government recognises that the current economic climate is making it more challenging for some people to find work and is providing a range of extra support to help Jobseeker’s Allowance customers move into employment.
Volunteering can help jobseekers develop and maintain useful skills for work, so the Government is providing access to work-focused volunteering placements for up to 40,000 jobseekers in England, Scotland and Wales over the next two years. Jobseeker’s Allowance customers who have been claiming for six months will be eligible to take up this support.
