THE GOVT PUMPS $24.2M INTO JOB PROGRAMMES – BUT LOOK HOW THE TREATY (OR SOMETHING) HAS DETERMINED THE ALLOCATIONS
Young Maori should do nicely, thank you, from funding numbers bandied today by Social Development and Employment Minister Carmel Sepuloni.
And non-Maori young people?
Sorry. They don’t loom so large in the distribution of Sepuloni’s largess.
The Minister announced that more than 800 jobseekers will be supported on pathways into employment, education and training through funding into the Māori Trades and Training Fund (MTTF) and He Poutama Rangatahi projects.
The numbers she bandied in dollars terms add up to $24.2 million.
But ethnicity will be the critical factor in determining who benefits. The lion’s share of the investment, almost 77%, is going into the Māori Trades and Training Fund.
Sepuloni said this will support over 500 Māori job seekers into employment and training opportunities, with $18.576 million committed to a range of new and existing projects.
The rest of the nation’s young people can’t complain they have been overlooked.
The Government is investing $5.6 million to help over 300 young people overcome barriers to employment, education and training through further funding into He Poutama Rangatahi (and we assume non-Maori are intended to benefit from this programme)......
