Justin Richardson added: “T e Kickstart Scheme is a great initiative


to provide more young people with the skills and experience they need to fi nd permanent employment. But employers can benefi t too. “Now might be a great time for you to bring in a few extra pairs of


hands to help you with your business activity. It may also off er a chance for some of your team members to develop their own skillset by taking on the development or management of the Kickstarter. And, of course, it’s a great opportunity to support the people in your local community. “However, make sure you give it some careful consideration because


it’s a responsibility that shouldn’t be taken lightly. You need to ensure you have the bandwidth to be able to off er a valuable experience. But if you do, it’s sure to be a rewarding experience for both you and them.”
