Notice Title
Evaluation of Jobs Growth Wales+
Notice 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.
