Jobs4Youth Program

In reply to Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (28 July 2016). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for Consumer and Business Services, Minister for the City of Adelaide): I have been advised:

The allocation for each year of the program is 200. Over four years of the program the global allocation is 800. Currently in the third round of the program. The global target for the end of 2016 is 600. As of 18 October 2016, 526 placements have been achieved, with a further 74 to be achieved this calendar year.

It should be noted that some participants in the 2015 round resigned, were terminated or secured contract or ongoing employment prior to the completion of their traineeship and therefore were ineligible for graduation.
