November 10, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regional employers now have a double incentive to hire unemployed young people … a $20,000 kickback for a short time from the State Government.<\/p>\n

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced in Parliament on Thursday that the State Government’s $10,000 incentive would be doubled.<\/p>\n

\u201cYouth unemployment was unacceptably high in some regions and my government is redoubling its efforts to address this challenge,\u201d Ms Palaszczuk said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a massive incentive for businesses to hire, especially as school leavers start to look for work after Christmas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis offer applies to unemployed people aged between 15-24 and expires on February 28, 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo when the Back to Work \u2018Youth Boost\u2019 opens on December 1, employers will need to act quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Treasurer Curtis Pitt announced the $100 million Back to Work scheme in the State Budget offering $10,000 to businesses who took on an unemployed worker and $15,000 when they hired a long-term unemployed worker (out of work for 12 months or more).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur resolve to drive down regional youth unemployment is unwavering which is why we\u2019re offering a specific bonus to regional businesses who hire young people,\u201d Mr Pitt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why for every 15-24 jobseeker a business hires between December 1, 2016, and February 28, 2017, my Government will double the existing $10,000 Back to Work payment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Employment Minister Grace Grace said the Back to Work scheme would still only be available to regional employers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe new Back to Work \u2018Youth Boost\u2019 has been strategically timed to coincide with the end of the senior school year,\u201d Ms Grace said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
