Welfare to Work - FND …
Flexible New Deal (known as FND) is the Department for Work and Pensions new initiative designed to help long-term unemployed jobseekers move from benefits and into work. Serco is the prime contractor for the Greater Manchester area. We at the International Learning Centre are working with Serco as a subcontractor to help deliver Step 2 of their delivery model.
Confused …don’t be!
All jobseeker allowance claimants reaching 12 months of unemployment are referred to an FND provider for a mandatory year-long programme of flexible, supported job search and job preparation. Upon gaining employment they will receive ongoing support to help them retain and make the most of this opportunity.
Refer to the delivery model options on the right for more information.
