Employers creating more than 30 placements can apply directly to the government for the funding. Smaller employers who are able to offer fewer than 30 placements need to enter into a partnership with a representative organisation which will apply for and administer the funding on their behalf. The Council is taking on this representative role, and we have a team of experienced staff who can help you develop and deliver your placements.  

The Council itself has committed to creating 30 placements across our services and we will be increasing pay levels to London Living Wage and offering full time hours to those young people that want them.

We are keen to help you, as employers to take advantage of this scheme to create good quality work experience placements for Camden’s young people. We can not only help by acting as a representative organisation to draw down the funding, but also by supporting you to design the placements and to put in place wrap around support for participants, including employment support and job brokerage at the end of their time with you.
