JUNE 20, 2017: 91 young people in the electorate of Dawson now have jobs under the  ‘Hire’ element of the Liberal National Government’s Youth Jobs PaTH (Prepare-Trial-Hire) program.Across the country, more than 5,000 young Australians have been provided job opportunities as businesses take advantage of the financial incentives available to hire more young people.This is a big win for those young people and a win for local businesses helping them grow.I encourage more business owners in the region to consider taking advantage of the Youth Bonus wage subsidy of up to $10,000 to assist taking on extra staff to help grow their business.Minister for Employment, Michaelia Cash, said the Liberal National Government’s new Youth Bonus wage subsidy has seen over 5,000 young people gaining employment through the PaTH program to date.“We understand the best form of welfare is a job,” Minister Cash said.“The Government’s significant investment in PaTH is focused on helping young people get the skills they need, giving them a go and getting them a job.”Businesses employing young people (15 to 24 years of age) on income support and registered with an employment services provider may be eligible for a Youth Bonus wage subsidy of up to $10,000.Youth Jobs PaTH also offers young Australians access to job-ready training programs through the ‘Prepare’ element and internship opportunities through the ‘Trial’ element.For more information about Youths Job PaTH, visit www.jobactive.gov.au/path
