Welcome to the Programmes for the Unemployed New Website
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) primarily contracts with providers to deliver provision to help unemployed Jobcentre Plus customers to prepare for and look for work as quickly as possible. This includes jobsearch support, as well as employability training, however does not normally include occupational or vocational skills training.
Jobcentre Plus front-line Advisers can directly refer customers with skills needs to the most appropriate local provision to address those needs. With the exception of mandatory New Deal customers, Jobcentre Plus Advisers should prioritise Skills Funding Agency funded skills provision in line with national agreements.
