What is the Restart Scheme?

The Restart Scheme gives people who have been out of work and have been directly impacted by the pandemic, the support to re-train and gain employment or become self-employed.

As part of our remit, we give up to 12 months of tailored support for each client, based on their individual needs.

This includes high quality self-employment expertise and coaching to help individuals gain sustainable self-employment. We also help to break down barriers that may be holding people back from taking that step.

Our Restart Scheme is delivered through seminars, courses, one-to-one support and advice to help self-employed people make their business a success.
