Notes:
¹ This is the number of people who started on Community Action in each year.
² Community Action began in July 1993 and the underspend in 1993–94 was due to a less rapid build up than was anticipated.
³ Outcomes are measured by postal follow up of all participants 3 months after leaving the programme. As this is a survey the figures are represented as percentages, no actual numbers are available. The latest available data are up to the end of March 1995.
⁴ Other positive outcomes are self-employment and participation in Government training schemes.

1) Workstart subsidies are paid to employers who recruit the ES's very long term unemployed clients. All clients enter jobs which involve working 16 hours or more per week and are expected to last at least the length of the subsidy period.
2) For Workstart pilots ran from June 1993 to December 1994. The subsidy was paid over a 12 month period and so some participating employers are still receiving payments. As payments cease if a subsidised employee leaves, the total 1995–96 expenditure will not be known until February 1996.
3) Two new Workstart pilots began in April this year. They have a combined budget of £5.89 million for 1995–96. As in the first pilots the exact amount to be spent will depend upon people remaining in work for the duration of the subsidy set. To date (10 November) there have been 482 starts on this pilot.

⁴ Information about outcomes into employment was not collected prior to 1993–94.

⁵ Since the scheme is targeted only at those gaining job interviews and subsequently jobs, information about other outcomes is not collected. The numbers obtaining a job as a result of an interview where fares to the interview are funded by this scheme are recorded.

(ii) For 1994–95 the figure shown is provisional and may be subject to change.

(iii) For 1995–96 Youth Training Credits now work, not as a separate programme as in previous years, but as an access mechanism to training. Outturn figures will not be available until after the end of this financial year.

³ (i) Planned expenditure on Youth Training credits in 1993–94 and subsequently is included as part of the overall planned expenditure on Youth Training and cannot be separately identified. In 1991–92 and 1992–93 actual figures for Youth Training Credits are shown. For comparative purposes the total planned expenditure on Youth Training, which included Youth Training Credits, was £741 million and £705 million respectively.

(ii) In 1994–95 planned expenditure included spending by TECs on careers advice and guidance and the development of the youth credits scheme.

(iii) In 1995–96 planned expenditure includes provision for Modern Apprenticeships which was introduced nationally in September 1995.

⁴ (i) As outcome information is estimated from survey data it is not possible to give actual numbers. The information given is on the basis of percentage outcome estimates from surveys conducted six months after a participant leaves the programme.

(ii) The latest available information is for the period April 1994 to January 1995 and is for England and Wales only.

(iii) The percentage of people entering full-time employment is shown. The figures in brackets shows the additional percentage of participants entering part-time employment.

⁵ Other Outcomes include entry into other Government programmes and self-employment.

⁶ This is the percentage of participants who entered jobs, further training, self-employment and full-time education.

The information given is on the basis of percentage outcome estimates from surveys conducted three months after a participant leaves the programme.

⁵ For this programme the only other outcome recorded is the number of clients going into further training. This is expressed as a percentage (see (4) above).

³ (i) Planned expenditure on Youth Training credits in 1993–94 and subsequently is included as part of the overall planned expenditure on Youth Training and cannot be separately identified. In 1991–92 and 1992–93 actual figures for Youth Training Credits are shown. For comparative purposes the total planned expenditure on Youth Training, which included Youth Training Credits, was £741 million and £705 million respectively.
(ii) In 1994–95 planned expenditure included spending by TECs on careers advice and guidance and the development of the youth credits scheme.
(iii) In 1995–96 planned expenditure includes provision for Modern Apprenticeships which was introduced nationally in September 1995.
⁴ (i) As outcome information is estimated from survey data it is not possible to give actual numbers. The information given is on the basis of percentage outcome estimates from surveys conducted six months after a participant leaves the programme.
(ii) The latest available information is for the period April 1994 to January 1995 and is for England and Wales only.
(iii) The percentage of people entering full-time employment is shown. The figures in brackets shows the additional percentage of participants entering part-time employment.
⁵ Other Outcomes include entry into other Government programmes and self-employment.
⁶ This is the percentage of participants who entered jobs, further training, self-employment and full-time education.

¹ Total expenditure for the year.
² (i) The Government updates its expenditure plans annually and these are published in March in the Departmental Report. These figures are subject to change during the year. "n/a" equates to figures which are not published in the Departmental Report and are therefore not available.
(ii) The figure for April to October 1995 is an estimate for the total operational year and may be subject to change.
³ Total job entries include full and part-time jobs. Separate figures are not routinely collected. Only those job outcomes achieved during the five week period of the seminar are recorded are shown above.
⁴ The main focus of this programme is to provide advice on job search and to increase job search activity with the aim of helping participants find employment. Entry into outcomes other than employment is not therefore routinely collected.
⁵ Total positive outcomes are for job entries only [see (4) above].
