Leighton Andrews, Minister for Children, Education and Lifelong Learning, has issued a written statement announcing additional funding for the Young Person’s Guarantee.
The Young Person’s Guarantee provides a guaranteed offer of a job, work placement or training place for all long-term unemployed 18-24 year olds.
The Minister has announced an extra £5m to deliver the Guarantee in Wales, in addition to a £20.5m package to support youth unemployment which was secured in the December 2009 budget.
The statement is available to download from the Welsh Assembly Government website.
