JETS (Job Entry Targeted Support) is a new scheme backed by the Department for Work and Pensions to help those left jobless due to Covid-19.
JETS will help people who have been out of work for three months or more, giving them access to tailored, flexible support to quickly get back them into employment. The new programme offers a range of services, including specialist advice on how people can move into growing sectors, as well as CV writing, interview coaching and advice on transferable skills.
Job seekers will agree an action plan with their personal Work Coach and have access to financial support for a variety of different aspects of their job searching activity, including travel costs, interview clothing, health assessments and training.
The programme is being delivered by providers as part of the Work & Health Programme. Reed in Partnership is delivering JETS in the North East of England and South London. More information about Reed in Partnership’s JETS programmes can be found here.
