        "description": "The Welsh Government's new Programme for Government outlines commitments made that directly contribute to ten wellbeing objectives. One of these wellbeing objectives is to build an economy based on the principles of fair work, sustainability and the industries and services of the future. Currently Welsh Government are delivering a number of employability programmes which are due to end in March 2022. Two of these programmes, Traineeships and Jobs Growth Wales II, are aimed at young people. These programmes have been evaluated previously, and recommendations from those evaluations have helped to inform the development of the new youth employability programme: Jobs Growth Wales+. Jobs Growth Wales+ (JGW+) will provide every young person with an offer of employment, training, voluntary work or self-employment and will be launched April 2022. The programme takes the best elements of Traineeships and Jobs Growth Wales and will provide a holistic, tailored package of support for young people who are, or who are at risk of becoming, NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training). The Welsh Government wishes to commission a formative evaluation of JGW+. The aim of the evaluation is to provide Welsh Government with timely, robust information on the process and take up of the JGW+ programme in years 1 and 2, which will enable Welsh Government to make decisions regarding the programme, as well as a framework for the impact evaluation, to be commissioned under a later contract. The focus of this evaluation will be on the delivery, performance and outcomes of the programme, with a review of data to establish a framework for impact evaluation. The findings and lessons learned from this evaluation will be used to inform future policy development.",

The focus of this evaluation will be on the delivery, performance and outcomes of the programme, with a review of data to establish a framework for impact evaluation. The findings and lessons learned from this evaluation will be used to inform future policy development. The objectives of the evaluation are listed below. The list is not exhaustive and it is envisaged that further research questions may be identified in the scoping phase of the evaluation work. To review the design, management, and implementation of the programme, highlighting areas of good practice and areas for further development and to assess its suitability in supporting the achievement of the programme aims and objectives. This will include understanding any regional differences in delivery, success factors, and unexpected consequences, and the contribution of the programme to the Welsh language objectives of the Welsh Government. To identify key strengths of the programme and any constraints/issues that may have impeded its effectiveness, provide recommendations and lessons learnt. To review whether and how well the programme supports the delivery of key Welsh Government priorities, including the Employability Plan, the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, the Youth Engagement Progression Framework (YEPF), the Young Person's Guarantee, and Cymraeg 2050, the Welsh language strategy. To assess the performance of JGW+ against its stated aims and objectives for the period under review (2022 - 2024), including a review of the obstacles that participants and providers have faced, whether and how these have been overcome. Additionally, including a review of engagement and participation to understand who are and who are not engaging with the programme. To assess the take up of the programme, including by protected characteristics, to be reported yearly. To build on the theory of change developed during the policy formation phase. To establish a framework for the impact evaluation of the programme, which will be commissioned under a later contract. To set up a research advice group, which will include young people whom the programme targets. To report on final WEFO claims data. Additional information: The estimated value of the contract is between GBP 170,000 to 180,000 (excluding VAT) - GBP 204,000 to 216,000 (including VAT) for the purposes of the notice.",
