DiVA is hosting a Briefing Webinar at 11:00am on Tuesday 2nd November for employers interested in finding out more about the governments' Kickstart Scheme. The Kickstart Scheme is a government initiative that full-funds the salaries of 6-month internship placements for 25 hours per week at the National Minimum Wage. Companies can also access a grant of £1500 to cover training and set up costs.
The scheme has been extended to 31st March 2022 but BPI Member Companies need to apply by 10th December in order to take advantage of the scheme.
So far, DiVA has secured funding for 108 music industry placements for 40 BPI members.
The webinar will be an opportunity to hear from DiVA about the scheme; the application, recruitment and onboarding process; the training delivered by DiVA; the grant payment process, and more. There will also be time for Q&A.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has officially approved DiVA Apprenticeships as a Kickstart Gateway Organisation to support employers in the creative industry to offer fully-funded job placements as part of the Government's Kickstart Scheme.
DiVA takes the hassle out of the scheme by managing all the scheme administration, grant payment process, and training and support for participants. Where required, they can also manage the recruitment process.
This event is being held as a webinar and is for BPI Member Companies only
