The Jet scheme helps people who are unemployed get back into work or start their own business. Although it is based in
the City Centre, JET operates outreach services in all communities across the city and offers work-based training specific
to the individuals needs. It also has an employer-facing job brokerage service, which provides recruitment support for local
businesses.
Jet is a partnership project and is only possible with the support of several organisations. The scheme
is managed by Stoke-on-Trent City Council Enterprise and Skills Team. It is funded by the European Regional Development Fund
and the European Social Fund, as well as the Coalfield Regeneration Trust (as part of the Family Employment Initiative) and
the City Council . Other partners include the Skills Funding Agency and JobCentre Plus.
One of the main priorities
for the Jet is to reduce the number of unemployed people in North Staffordshire and create a highly skilled,
flexible local workforce that will contribute to a more diverse and competitive local economy. It also aims to help people
start their own sustainable businesses that will also contribute to local wealth.
This will ensure that the
new opportunities, created by the regeneration of North Staffordshire, will be available to local people by preparing them
with the right skills and training. Jobs Enterprise and Training (Jet) is one innovative project that will help to achieve
this goal both for individuals and for businesses in North Staffordshire.
