Support for people ready to head back to work

Manx Reskill Scheme is available

Those on the Isle of Man who have been struggling to get back to work after long-term illness or disability are being reminded support is available.

The Manx Reskill Scheme aims to match people with suitable employers for work opportunities based on their skills, experience, preferences and aspirations. 

Their salary is covered by Government for up to 12 months.

Treasury Minister Dr Alex Allinson says it's entirely voluntary and is not a way of forcing people back to work before they're ready:

Benefit claimants will not suffer any detriment if they choose not to take part or if they withdraw after having enrolled.
