Episode Details

The government is launching a bold three-year plan to slash youth unemployment by creating 300,000 new work experience and training spots across industries like construction and hospitality — with big-name employers already on board. Designed to break down the barrier of lackluster school placements, the initiative includes government-funded Sector-based Work Academies that offer hands-on training and guaranteed interviews. To sweeten the deal, employers will get cash bonuses: $3,000 for hiring a long-term unemployed youth, and $2,000 for taking on an apprentice — with additional support for those out of work for 18+ months. This isn’t just about jobs — it’s about building real, sustainable careers for the next generation.
