Work Programme
If you’re getting
Jobseeker's Allowance, you may have to take part in the Work
Programme after:
- nine months - if you’re aged 18 to 24
- 12 months - if you’re 25 or over
You may join the Work Programme earlier, if both you and your
Jobcentre Plus adviser agree.
If you are have been claiming for six months or
more, you must take part in
Work Programme. If both you and your personal adviser decide
that it is best, you may even be able to join if you have been
claiming Jobseeker's Allowance for less than six months.
The Jobcentre Plus New Work Programme will help you
find and keep a job or start to work for yourself. It will help you
improve the skills you have and learn new skills. While you are on
New Deal, you will get help and support from a Jobcentre Plus
personal adviser. They will help you look at what you can do and
build on the skills you have.
