Will the Minister confirm whether all of the £200 million pledged in 2022 for the Jobs Growth Wales+ programme has been spent?
Answered by Minister for Economy | Answered on 28/03/2023
The Jobs Growth Wales+ procured framework awarded contracts in April 2022 to deliver activities for a maximum of seven years. The maximum figure of £200m outlined in the framework is for the full lifetime of the programme. The total spend from April 2022 to February 2023 stands at £20,352,101.
My answer to WQ 87793 refers to the number of young people who have been helped by this programme. We are working closely with contractors to make sure the funding issued to them is used to maximise benefits to young people.
