Part of 2. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:19 pm on 21 June 2016.
Well, one example, of course, is Jobs Growth Wales. It has been hugely successful, with a success rate of over 80 per cent in terms of young people going on to employment, or to further or higher education schemes, funded by European money, and of course it’s a scheme that has helped so many young people get in to work. The genesis of that scheme was that we talked to small and medium-sized businesses that said to us they wanted to take people on, but they couldn’t find the time or the money to do it. Jobs Growth Wales allowed them to do that, and there are now many, many young people in employment because of that scheme, and they have the skills that they need for the future.
