New Enterprise Allowance
About NEA
The New Enterprise Allowance (NEA) programme has been developed
by the Department for Work and Pensions for people that have been
out of work for six months or more and are thinking of starting up
their own business or becoming self-employed. The programme
provides support to customers, including being assigned a mentor,
to help them develop a business plan and commence trading.
Customers continue to receive support during the first six months
of being in business. If you’re interested in the NEA programme or
would like to find out more, you should speak to your Jobcentre
Plus adviser. They can give you more information and refer you to
the programme if you're eligible.
Mentors
As part of the NEA programme we're looking for people to become
Mentors. This is a voluntary role which offers a rewarding
opportunity to help people get back into work and set up in their
own business. If you’re interested in finding out more about
being a Mentor, please email Paola at paola.mingoia@pinnaclepeople.co.uk
More information about becoming a mentor can be found here.
