Kickstart Events Programme

These 1 hour sessions will provide you with all the information you need to know about the Kickstart scheme and the application process.

During these sessions we'll provide you with all you need to know about scheme, the application process and FAQs. There will also be time at the end of the presentation for you to ask questions and hear about the next steps.

By creating a Kickstart job placement you're helping a young person who is at risk of long term unemployment, so thank you once again for your interest in the scheme.

Business West delivers ‘Workforce for the Future’ in collaboration with other partners and the West of England Combined Authority.

The ‘Workforce for the Future’ programme can help your business identify employee development areas, plan and adapt for the future, upskill and retrain employees and access new talent.

If you decide to sign up for the Kickstart Scheme, the submission deadlines for applications are usually 2-3 weeks after the event. Submission dates are displayed when you click on each individual event below.
