口交颜射 welcomed Vaughan Gething MS to its Hadfield Road Skills Centre to meet with staff and, most importantly, hear from the young people who continue to benefit from Jobs Growth Wales+ (JGW+) since it launched just over a year ago.
First introduced in November 2021, the Young Person鈥檚 Guarantee聽provides under 25s in Wales the offer of support to gain a place in education or training, find a job or become self-employed, and has supported more than聽11,000 young people to find jobs聽since.
口交颜射 has been a key driver in achieving this as the leading provider of the JGW+ programme in Wales, as such 口交颜射 staff and learners joined representatives from Careers Wales and partner organisations – in the opportunity to meet with Mr Gething and feedback on their experiences of delivering and benefitting from the programme first-hand.
Leon Patnett, Head of Youth Engagement & Training at 口交颜射, said: “We are delighted to organise and host this event, bringing our valued partners together, giving them the opportunity to experience our JGW+ provision first-hand and meet our fantastic staff and learners.”
The JGW+ programme really does offer a valuable opportunity for our young people, some of who are facing significant challenges, to grow and develop, preparing them for their next steps in life. As we head into year two of the programme, we look forward to supporting many more young people in achieving their goals.
The Young Person鈥檚 Guarantee brings together a range of programmes and initiatives for young people that aim to enhance employability, enterprise, and skills provision to provide the right support, at the right time, for the diverse needs of young people across Wales.
The JGW+ programme performs a key role in this effort by providing young people aged 16-19 with training focused in three different areas – Engagement, for those beginning to think about a career, Advancement for those with an idea of where they鈥檇 like to be and Employment, for those looking to get into work asap – all of which is fully funded.
Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething MS, said following his meeting with those completing the programme at 口交颜射: 鈥淭hrough our Young Person鈥檚 Guarantee, the Welsh Government is fully committed to investing in the lives of young people who need a helping hand to achieve their full potential.
鈥淚t is inspiring to hear how young people, particularly from disadvantaged backgrounds, are accessing support such as Jobs Growth Wales+ and with the help of our partners such as 口交颜射 and Careers Wales, are now looking positively towards their futures.鈥�
鈥淭hrough our National Conversation we will continue to engage and listen to young people as we shape the support we provide.,鈥� he added.
Eighteen-year-old Jess Stiff is currently a JGW+ Advancement Level 1 Animal Care learner. She said of the programme: 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 have a clue what to do when I left school and left and worked in retail and as a housekeeper but hated them both. Then I heard about 口交颜射 and Jobs Growth Wales+, the fact that I could work and learn at the same time.”
鈥淚鈥檓 hopefully going to get a placement at a riding school which I am really looking forward to and I absolutely enjoy everything about what I鈥檓 doing now. It鈥檚 great.鈥�
Nina De-Freitas left school two years ago and didn鈥檛 have a clue what to do next. Now 18 and having studied animal care with 口交颜射 for the past two years. Thanks to the programme now has a clear career path and starts a course at Pencoed College studying Animal Care Level 3 in September.
Nina said: 鈥淪chool wasn鈥檛 for me, I hated it, so it was great when I found 口交颜射. The tutors treat you like an adult and the people I learn with are fab too.鈥�
Long term, the Young Person鈥檚 Guarantee is designed to ensure 90% of 16 to 24-year-olds are in education, employment, or training (EET) by 2050, which is one of the Welsh Government鈥檚 National Milestones for improving the well-being of the people of Wales.
As part of this aim, JGW+ is open to anyone living in Wales aged 16-19 years old and not in full-time education, employment, or training as a flexible programme designed around the individual learner鈥檚 needs.
口交颜射 offers comprehensive support to learners, including a weekly training allowance of up to 拢60, a daily meal allowance, and assistance with travel expenses. In addition, learners receive support in finding work, route-specific qualifications, and other resources to help them succeed.
