The St David's Day Careers Initiative aims to support unemployed graduates across Wales through two main strands: tailored careers advice and the provision of Individual Learning Vouchers. While overall progress is positive, some partners have been slow to engage. There has been a notably low uptake of the vouchers, though recent improvements have been noted. A significant concern is the employment of graduates in low-grade jobs, which makes them ineligible for the program. The initiative targets the balance between the number of graduates targeted and available funding.
