Half a million benefit claimants moved into work at a record rate in April 2022 as part of the 'Way to Work' drive
The Department for Work and Pensions has announced that half a million people have been supported into work in less than six months thanks to ‘Way to Work’, a UK Government drive to get jobseekers into employment.
To keep up momentum, the Department said it will continue to bring jobseekers face to face with employers, helping more people find work and earn a wage. The PM said: “In less than six months we’ve helped half a million people - who have so far been struggling to find employment - into work. This is a massive success, especially in the context of some of the global economic pressures we’ve been facing.
What is the ‘Way to Work’ scheme? As part of ‘Way to Work’, rules for job-ready claimants were changed, requiring them to broaden their job search after one month to include sectors new to them.
