Description

The YGTs are testing a new regional approach and providing young people in YGT areas with early access to the Youth Guarantee. Importantly, the Trailblazers will provide evidence to inform the policy's ongoing development at a national level. The Trailblazers are the government's approach to designing, implementing, testing, and evaluating the Youth Guarantee. The YGT will test how local leadership and accountability, and existing support, can be integrated into a cohesive education, training, and employment support offer for young people.
