Reeves to guarantee paid work for young people unemployed for 18 months
Mayor Jane Reeves announced today a new initiative aimed at tackling youth unemployment in the city. The program will guarantee paid work for young individuals who have been unemployed for over 18 months. The initiative will be funded by a combination of federal grants and city resources.
Reeves highlighted that the high levels of youth unemployment are a significant concern for the community and emphasized the need for proactive measures to address this issue. The program aims not only to provide financial support to those who have been struggling to find work but also to offer valuable job experience and skills training.
Local businesses have shown support for the initiative, with many expressing interest in participating by providing employment opportunities to the eligible young individuals. Some local business owners cited their desire to give back to the community and invest in the future workforce as motives for their involvement.
Critics, however, have raised concerns about the sustainability of the program and its long-term impact on the city’s economy. Some argue that guaranteeing paid work may create disincentives for young people to seek employment independently, relying instead on government-backed programs.
The initiative is set to launch next month, with an initial target of providing paid work opportunities to 100 young people in the first phase. Mayor Reeves stressed that the program would be closely monitored and evaluated to assess its effectiveness and make any necessary adjustments.
