1/ Traineeships are a proven scheme to get young people ready for work. We know they work, so for the first time ever we’ll pay employers £1,000 to take on trainees, with triple the number of places. #PlanForJobs
202
The evidence says careers advice works, so we’ll fund it, with an additional £32m to recruit career advisers and provide bespoke advice and careers guidance for over a quarter of a million more people. #PlanForJobs
203
Sector-Based Work Academies provide training, work placements, and a guaranteed job interview in high-demand sectors.
The evidence shows they work, so we’ll expand them – tripling the number of places. #PlanForJobs
204
For the next six months we’ll pay businesses to hire young apprentices, with a payment of £2,000.
We’re also introducing a brand-new bonus to hire apprentices aged 25 and over, with a payment of £1,500. #PlanForJobs
205
We are doubling the number of work coaches at a cost of nearly £900m this year.
Work coaches are the first point of contact for someone who loses their jobs and comes for help. They provide invaluable personalised support to help people work. #PlanForJobs
206
1/ We’re funding £2bn of Green Home Grants helping to unlock work for thousands of plumbers, builders and tradespeople.
Homeowners will receive vouchers to pay for at least two-thirds of green improvements such as loft, wall and floor insulation. #PlanForJobs

1/ I have decided today to cut stamp duty.
Right now, there is no stamp duty on transactions below £125,000 (or £300,000 for first-time buyers). I am increasing the threshold to £500,000. #PlanForJobs
208
2/ Everyone buying a main home under £500,000 will pay no stamp duty at all. It takes effect today until March 31st 2021 and means 9/10 people of main home buyers will pay no SDLT at all.
209
We're reducing VAT to 5% for goods and services supplied by the tourism and hospitality sectors.
This is a £4bn catalyst benefiting over 150,000 businesses, and consumers everywhere - all helping to protect 2.4 million jobs. #PlanForJobs

To support restaurants and the people who work in them we’re saying ‘Eat Out to Help Out’.
So for the month of August we will give you a 50% reduction, up to £10 per head, on sit-down meals and non-alcoholic drinks Monday-Wednesday. #PlanForJobs
211
Taken together this is a Plan for Jobs worth up to £30 billion.

For me, this has never just been a question of economics, but of values:
I believe in the nobility of work.
I believe in the inspiring power of opportunity.
I believe in the British people’s fortitude and endurance.

Our #PlanForJobs tripled the scale of traineeships and introduced incentives for employers to take on apprentices.

I know @Zehra_Zaidi @ppvernon and many others have been campaigning for years for the BAME people who built Britain to be recognised on legal tender.
Yesterday I wrote to The Royal Mint urging them to consider how to celebrate the achievements of BAME individuals on UK coinage.
