A Welsh Government-funded programme to help people most disadvantaged in the labour market into work will be expanded in 2023 but a minister warned of "tough decisions" ahead.
Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething said the Government is stepping in to fund the expansion of the Communities for Work Plus (CfW+) employability programme. They said they made the move after claiming the UK Government had failed to honour promises Wales would not be a penny worse off following the UK departure from the EU.
The Department for Levelling Up insisted that it was delivering on the UK government’s commitment to match the average spending of EU structural funds - although the equivalent level of EU funding will not be reached until 2025.
