Training

If you are finding it difficult to get a job, or simply wish to develop your existing skills, you may want to consider doing a training course. The Department for Work and Pensions (www.dwp.gov.uk) offers various training schemes, including:
  • Youth Training
  • Training to Work
Youth Training

If you are under 25, not in paid work or full-time education, you are entitled to a place on a Youth Training (YT) programme.

You will be entitled to a Youth Training allowance but in most instances this will mean that you are not entitled to claim Income Support or Invalidity Benefit. You may continue to get the Disability Living Allowance while training, but the care component may be reviewed if it has been assessed that you have less care needs.

If you are unable to get work at the end of the course, your case will be re-assessed and you may have your benefits and allowances paid back.

Training to Work

If you find yourself without a job, you are eligible for the Training to Work programme.

The Training to Work programme is aimed at helping long-term unemployed people to find jobs or improve their workskills.

People with disabilities are eligible as soon as they become unemployed.

Once you have started your training, you will be paid an allowance usually ten times higher than your weekly benefit entitlement.
