Benefits and help when looking for work

 

Graduates can claim Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) as long as they are available for and actively seeking employment. They can complete voluntary work and part-time work (Under 16 hours) whilst on JSA but must be willing to start full-time work if offered within 48 hours.

 

In some situations, graduates may agree to take up unpaid placements where the position is attractive and will benefit their skills development and employability.

 

From January 2010, graduates already receiving Jobseekers Allowance for six months or more will be able to do an internship for up to 13 weeks alongside claiming an allowance and looking for work. This means unpaid internships will be open to graduates irrespective of whether they or their families can support them.
