JobsPlus is a community-led employment scheme that aims to help people into work through on-site employment services, community support, and financial incentives. Led by Learning and Work Institute, the programme is being piloted in England with funding from the Department for Work and Pensions and from Youth Futures Foundation. The ten pilots build on the foundational work outlined below. Find out more.
From 2016-2018, Learning and Work Institute worked with 19 social landlords across Britain – brought together by Give us a Chance – to develop these proposals. They build on the highly successful Jobs-Plus model implemented in the United States since the late 1990s.
This paper sets out proposals for the detailed design of a Jobs-Plus prototype. The scoping work has been underpinned by in-depth interviews, workshops and site visits with the landlords supporting this work and wider partners; as well as independent assessment of the feasibility of robustly evaluating Jobs-Plus, and detailed modelling of the costs of taking this forward.
