New Deal is a key part of the government's Welfare to Work
strategy. Personalised programmes of work and skills training
opportunities, delivered locally, are aimed at helping unemployed
people into work.
There are programmes for young people (18-24), 25+, lone
parents, disabled people, 50+ and partners of the unemployed.
All programmes are accessible through Employment Services and,
if you are an individual looking for a job, your first point of
contact should be your local job centre.
More information is available on the
Directgov website.
