Young Persons Guarantee

This guarantees 18-24 year olds who have been unemployed over six months an offer of a job, training or work experience in the form of internships and places on the Community Task Force.

This is a major part of the Government’s Backing Young Britain initiative to support young people during the recession. The Guarantee will be supported by over 400,000 Government funded training places, internships, work experience places and job opportunities.

All young people will get support from a named personal adviser who will advise them on the options available to help them into work. From April 2010, young people will be required to take up one of the offers by the ten month point of their claim.
