For national government?
We recommend devolving targeted employer NI/business rates relief powers, to support firms hiring from or investing in deprived neighbourhoods; establishing JobsPlus as a permanent national model of employment support; and further devolution of community transport powers.

Speaking at our event Abigail Zimba from JobsPlus says many of the young people she speaks to looking for employment support can't get over the barrier of a first experience of work. They're competing with uni students with more experience and better CVs. Young people need more work experience.
