You complete an application form to ensure eligibility and understanding of the grant requirements.  Make UK will then process the application along with other applications and gain as much information as we can to ensure the grant is accepted.

Second Stage

Once your application has been approved we will notify you and get you to complete a very detailed job description.  This will have details of the individual duties and must explain the training that will be provided by you or how you will source external support to ensure that the individual is supported throughout the placement.

This form once completed will be sent through to DWP for approval.  Once approved DWP notify Make UK that the vacancy goes live.  Make UK then contact you and support with next steps.

Third Stage

Your vacancy goes live and you will start receiving interest from individuals.  Once the person has expressed an interest the next step is for them to send their CV to you to arrange interviews.  You are in control of this you decide who you want to take on and you make the offer.

Fourth Stage

You see a candidate and want to make an offer.  You offer them a role – issue them with a contract of employment and notify DWP and Make UK of the offer.  

Fifth stage
