Are you looking to employ young people in your workforce?
Our youth programmes can help your business grow
Our two youth programmes focus on getting young unemployed people into jobs. Both programmes provide you with incentives to employ and train young people, helping them gain experience and qualifications, and helping you gain trained and engaged employees.
Skills for Growth contributes towards the cost of providing industry training for young people.
Job Ops with Training contributes towards the cost of employing and training young people.
We are committed to helping you give young job seekers a chance to have a sustainable career.
Our youth programmes create two different opportunities for you to engage young people in your business. Both programmes can help you prepare your future workforce by training young employees right now.
Skills for Growth
- You employ an unemployed person aged 16–24 years, into a permanent position.
- We pay you $5,000 in 3 part-payments over a 12-month period.
- You provide support and training so that your employee can gain a qualification for your industry on the NZQA framework.
Job Ops with Training
- You employ an unemployed person aged 16–24 years, with low or no skills, into a 6-month fixed term position.
- We pay you a $5,000 subsidy that you use to help fund the wages and training for your employee.
Most employers are eligible to take advantage of our two youth programmes. Please visit our website or call one of our Work Brokers to discuss which programme might suit your business needs best.
