Jobs Placement and Salary Subsidy Program
Employers Looking to Hire May Benefit from Salary Subsidy Program
Interested Employers Should Register With Government
The government has set aside $25 million for a jobs placement program primarily aimed at young unemployed Bahamians under 30 years of age. The program is designed to prepare unemployed Bahamians for entry into the labor market after they receive 52 weeks of formal on-the-job training and career coaching through structured on-the-job training.
Participating businesses that take on additional workers will be eligible for subsidized salaries during that time by the government for up to $210 per week, with the idea that they will be fully employed after the subsidy period.
