Youth Guarantee is a new government initiative starting in 2010. There will be approximately 2,000 Youth Guarantee places available across New Zealand.
The allocation of Youth Guarantee places to providers for 2010 has been announced.
The purpose of the Youth Guarantee initiative is to improve the educational achievements of targeted 16 and 17 year olds by providing them with an opportunity to participate in a range of vocational courses free of charge. It was announced by the Prime Minister as part of a Youth Opportunities’ package to create new work, education and training opportunities for young people. Further details about the package are on the Beehive website.

10 PTEs and 17 ITPs will access Youth Guarantee funding in 2010.

Access to Youth Guarantee funding will be considered in accordance with government policy, (as directed by the Minister’s determination under section 159L of the Education Act 1989), the Tertiary Education Strategy and in response to performance.
