Equity Release Council members and the wider sector are being encouraged to take part in the Government’s £2bn Kickstart work-placement scheme, after a gateway training provider offered to submit a collective bid.

The Kickstart scheme supports people aged 16 to 24 into work by covering their wages for six months and paying an employers’ grant, to help provide them life skills and market training.

A webinar, which is available here, gives details about the scheme. It featured: Donna Bathgate, Equity Release Council chief operating officer; Jackie Denyer, Professional Training Solutions managing director; and Chrissy Payne, Professional Training Solutions associate director.

This is the presentation from that webinar.
