New Deal

A key part of the Government's Employment for All strategy which aims to get 80% of working age people into employment.

The New Deal gives people seeking employment the help and support they need to look for work, including training and job preparation. It is made up from several strands including the New Deal for Disabled People, the New Deal for Young People, and the New Deal for Over 50's.

Further information

Information on each strand can be found on the Job Centre Plus website.
