Employment

Our Get Britain Working White Paper set out ambitious plans to transform employment support, tackle rising levels of health-related economic inactivity and move towards an 80% employment rate .

Since publication we have made rapid progress delivering on our three key interconnected pillars which are driving change including;

• 9 place-based economic inactivity trailblazers, with 3 areas receiving additional funding for our Health Accelerators seeking to prevent economic inactivity linked to ill-health.
• 8 Youth Guarantee trailblazers, testing approaches before we roll out nationally and as part of our commitment to create a new Jobs and Careers Service we have launched our first Pathfinder in Wakefield to develop and test new services and different ways of supporting people.
