A successful project helping job-seekers into work in Wales is being extended with extra funding

A successful EU-backed project that is helping thousands of people into work in South Wales is being extended for two years with EUR 4.2 million of additional funding. The QWEST project, led by the University of Wales, offers training, work experience and tailored support to help the unemployed improve their job prospects and get back to work. Announcing the extension, the Deputy Minister for European Programmes in Wales, Alun Davies, said: “EU projects have assisted over 294 000 participants, of whom over 83 000 have been supported to gain qualifications and some 35 000 helped into work. I am pleased we have been able to back this initiative with further EU funds to ensure more people benefit and access services to improve their job prospects and future prosperity.”
