- A recruitment subsidy of up to £1000 and access to training support
- New training places – extra funding for training places to help unemployed people get new skills to maximise their chances of getting jobs
- Work-focused volunteering options – opportunities to volunteer to help people re-establish work habits
- Help to set up a business – advice on creating a business plan, plus funding for the first months of trading
In line with the UK Statistics Authority’s Code of Practice on Official Statistics the Government published Experimental Statistics on the Six Month Offer on 14 October 2009. Future publication dates will be announced on the UK Statistics Authority’s Publication Hub for Official Statistics.
