## Description

This project seeks to explore the potential of greater usage of data analysis and data science techniques to enhance the targeting of Job Centre Plus \(JCP\) interventions more effectively by gathering a range of data from across DWP systems, using this to identify common characteristics among claimants at 13 weeks of their claim, and uncover their main barriers to employment\. This contract covers an initial time-bound 'discovery' phase, with a view to making a recommendation for further work, if appropriate\.
