Amey<\/a> is set to roll out the government\u2019s kickstart scheme to help Britain bounce back and support young people whose job prospects have been affected by the pandemic<\/h2>\n

Amey has been identifying suitable roles across the UK and has developed a robust programme that enables young people on the scheme to build their confidence, experience and skills in the workplace through on-the-job training, as well as having learning and development opportunities, boosting their long-term job prospects.<\/p>\n

The kickstart scheme<\/a>, announced by the chancellor last year, aims to secure quality job roles for unemployed young people between the ages of 16-24, for a minimum of 25 hours a week for a period of six months.<\/p>\n

Amey is\u00a0committed\u00a0to making sure the young people enrolled are offered a career path, and where possible an apprenticeship following the six-month funding period.<\/p>\n

The commitment forms part of Amey\u2019s Young People strategy, which aims to provide opportunities to young people who face barriers or disadvantage, promote STEM opportunities, and enable a diverse pipeline of future talent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amey already has\u00a0more than 200 ambassadors across the business promoting STEM in schools, colleges and universities to inspire the next generation of young\u00a0people and\u00a0offers a range of apprentice and graduate opportunities\u00a0for young people.<\/p>\n

Supporting job creation<\/h3>\n

Amanda Fisher, Amey chief executive, said: \u201cI am proud that Amey is a signatory to the government\u2019s kickstart scheme and will soon be recruiting for more than 60 roles across the business.<\/p>\n

\u201cCovid-19 has created numerous challenges for young people, and we recognise the need to support job creation and help tackle the growing skills gap within our industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to attracting, training and retaining talent\u00a0and\u00a0I am\u00a0excited to welcome our new starters later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
