Current Partnership Opportunities
Seetec will be participating in the following
upcoming DWP bidding round:
Background to the Community Task Force
In the 2009 Budget, Ministers announced the Young Person's
Guarantee (YPG): a guaranteed offer of a job, work-focused
training, or meaningful activity to all 18 to 24 year olds
approaching the 12 month stage of their claim to Jobseekers
Allowance (JSA).
The guaranteed offer consists of:
- New jobs created through the Future Jobs Fund (FJF)
- Routes into Work (formerly Sectoral Routeways): support to move
into an existing job in a key employment sector
- Work-focused training
- Work experience placements / projects to enhance employability
and deliver benefit; within the local or wider community –
Community Task Force (CTF)
The Service Requirement
Community Task Force (CTF) is part of the wider Young Persons
Guarantee available to all customers aged 18-24 who are
approaching 6 months of their claim to Jobseeker's Allowance
where a subsidised job or training are unsuitable or
unavailable.
CTF will offer up to a maximum of 6 months' quality work
experience of benefit to the community, designed primarily to
enhance the employability and work-related skills of participants,
and increase their chances of entering sustained employment. In
line with the direction of travel for welfare reforms, the CTF
should be flexible and tailored to the individual circumstances of
the customer where possible.
At the end of CTF if a customer has not found work, they will
join Stage 3 of JRFND at the point they left it.
