A new Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Youth Jobs Grant could help meat processors reduce the cost of recruiting and training young people, with funding of up to £3,000 per eligible recruit. The scheme also provides access to pre-screened candidates through Jobcentre Plus, helping employers fill vacancies more quickly.
In our Members’ Portal, we’ve outlined who qualifies, how the scheme works, and why it could support domestic workforce development. If you apply, we’d also like to hear about your experience so we can feed back directly to DWP on behalf of the sector.
We are the UKs largest trade body for the meat industry and provide expert advice on trade issues, bespoke technical advice and access to government policy makers
We are proud to count businesses of all sizes and specialties as members. They range from small, family run abattoirs serving local customers to the largest meat processing companies responsible for supplying some of our best-loved brands to shops and supermarkets.
We are further strengthened by our associate Members who work in industries that support and supply our meat processing companies.
We are the voice of the British meat industry.
