More of our young people are benefiting from Youth Guarantee. A total of 9616 training places will be created in 2012 for 16- and 17-year olds under National’s Youth Guarantee Scheme.
And enrolments have trebled this year at our 16 trades academies with 1936 learners. This is a huge increase on the 625 who participated last year. Numbers are set to increase further with another five academies opening later this year.
The Youth Guarantee Scheme, which now encompasses trades academies and Youth Training fees-free tertiary places, gives our young people the opportunity to gain practical skills and a career.
National is investing more than $100 million in the scheme this year to continue our focus on engaging youth at risk of dropping out of school.
