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 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 12 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.
 
I shall sit and watch videos on Youtube for a bit, then go in the shower as a way of relaxing from a bit of revision. Then at about 6/7PM I shall start again

ALSO! The electric men finally came today. At 8AM in the morning, when all night I've only had 2 hours sleep in, like, 10 - 15 increments
sad.gif
Slightly pissed at the electric men, and I think he knew it, since when I answered the door, I wasn't too pleased about him waking me up

So now I'm running on caffeine

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this for all of us. Man, the US doesn't have anything even close to this.

You sure sound like you deserve some relaxation! How come you only had two hours sleep? Damn electric man! How long did it take for him to do what he needed and leave?
