From April 2022 onwards, the Government will be enhancing its support to working claimants across Great Britain. Approximately 1.7 million working Universal Credit claimants across every Jobcentre, will be able to access Work Coach support to address any skills or wider barriers to progression. We will also appoint specialist Progression Champions who will make connections between employers, local authorities, and skills providers.
