Question
Will the Minister outline how many young people are waiting to access Job Growth Wales support across Wales, and provide a breakdown by local authority?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Economy
There has been a significant increase in numbers entering Jobs Growth Wales+ (JGW+) across Wales during 2023, which demonstrates the vital need for this provision. As a result of the recent surge in applications there has been a longer lead in time faced by some young people waiting to access the programme and we are working closely with contractors to make sure all eligible young people access JGW+ in a timely manner.
