Purpose of the consultation
The
National Assembly for Wales’s Enterprise
and Business Committee undertook an inquiry into Assisting Young People
into Work.
The Committee’s Terms of
Reference for the Inquiry are:
- What support is most effective and what
are the main barriers that face young people trying to enter the labour
market?
- To what extent is the Welsh Government’s
strategy for young people who are not in education, employment or training
effective and value for money?
- What progress has been made to date on
the Youth Engagement and Progression Framework Implementation Plan?
- How effective is the strategic role of
local authorities and other key stakeholders including the Careers
Service, the Youth Service, and the education regional consortia?
- The extent of discrimination and its
impact on the recruitment of young people;
- How effective are the range of schemes,
initiatives and projects aimed at supporting young people into work, for
example: Jobs Growth Wales; apprenticeships; traineeships; other projects
supported by European funding; and third-sector-run projects? Do they
provide good value for money?
Issues that the Committee is considering as part of
these terms of reference include:
- The impact of the Welsh Government’s
prioritisation of support for young people age 16-18; and the impact of
this prioritisation on those aged 19-24;
- Transport (especially in rural areas):
what are the problems and what assistance can be provided?
- The need for softer skills: e.g.,
effective interview and job application skills; ready-for-work skills;
- What can be done to assist the groups of
young people who are more affected by barriers to re-entering the labour
market, for example those with disability?
- The impact and value-for-money of
European funds;
- The extent to which employers require
Welsh-language skills, and whether this requirement is perceived as a
barrier by some young people;
- Regional variations and local
challenges;
- The social problems that prevent young
people from finding work, and how to change the culture and attitudes that
entrench unemployment for many.
