Businesses across Angus and Scotland are being encouraged to consider recruiting young talent through the new Youth Jobs Grant, which provides £3,000 for every eligible young person aged 18 to 24 who is hired.
The initiative aims to help young people take their first steps into employment while supporting employers to strengthen and grow their workforce. By offering financial support towards recruitment, the grant can help businesses invest in future skills and create valuable opportunities for the next generation.
For employers looking to expand their teams, the Youth Jobs Grant presents several benefits, including the opportunity to bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm into the workplace, support a young person at the start of their career, and help reduce recruitment costs.
The programme also helps businesses develop a pipeline of talent, ensuring they are equipped with the skills and people needed for future success.
To be eligible, positions must offer a minimum of 25 hours of work per week and meet the programme criteria.
With many organisations continuing to face recruitment challenges, the Youth Jobs Grant offers a practical way to attract new talent while making a positive difference to a young person's career prospects.
