WAGE subsidies for firms taking on young workers are to be brought forward in Blaenau Gwent and Caerphilly which have the highest levels of longterm youth unemployment.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg announced that instead of coming in at nine months, the subsidy of £2,275 per person will start at six months.
The subsidy is part of the Government’s £1 billion Youth Contract launched last year.
