Benefit claimants in the ‘Light Touch group’ will receive tailored help to progress and increase their earnings
The Department for Work and Pensions has announced that over 1.2million low-income earners on Universal Credit can now tap into additional support to help secure promotions and higher wages. The support, known as the In Work Progression offer, has rolled out across Great Britain and includes help with CVs and ways to improve or learn new skills.
“Rolling out this voluntary offer nationwide demonstrates our commitment to help even more people take control of their careers and finances, setting them firmly on a pathway to a brighter and more prosperous future.” Progression Leads work with local government, employers, and skills providers such as the Federation of Small Businesses and local Chambers of Commerce to identify and develop local progression opportunities. They also work with partners to address local barriers that limit progression, such as childcare and transport.
