Staffs Uni helps young people to kickstart careers
Staffordshire University is helping young people onto the career ladder through the government backed Kickstart SchemeThe £2 billion fund, announced last July, was set up to create job roles for 16 to 24-year-olds on Universal Credit and at risk of long-term unemployment. In total, six Kickstart employees have been offered six-month placements in a variety of roles across the University. Staffordshire University graduate Ashleigh Shone has started as a School Event Liaison and Outreach Officer and hopes her own journey into higher education will inspire others to follow in her footsteps.
