What is the estimated amount of jobs which will be created by the Youth
Employment Accord in the (a) short, (b) medium and (c) long term? NW1914E
REPLY
The Youth Employment Accord contain commitments across the public and
private sectors. It provides for a range of measures to ensure that youth
employment, training and job placement numbers are increased significantly
over the next two years.
The measures include voluntary commitments, incentives and targets.
The various signatories will consolidate their commitments for a project
training framework and as this is completed, the results will be made
public.
The extent of the efforts and the success thereof will in turn affect the
number of jobs which will be created in the short, medium and long term.
