Financial support to employ youth
Job Ops is a new Government initiative which provides employers with a $5,000 subsidy to provide employment opportunities to young people with low or no skills or work experience.
Job Ops opportunities must be for at least six months, and are targeted to help prepare young people for further opportunities in the workforce.
