General Election 2019 – Plaid Cymru Manifesto – analysis of their employment promises

As the largest Welsh party, Plaid Cyrmu’s policies are generally focused on increasing prosperity in Wales. There are few specific employment law policies, but those related to employment are as follows:-

1. They will create, “tens of thousands of new jobs throughout Wales”, through investment, with the aim of creating a ‘Green Jobs Revolution’ and to become 100% self-sufficient in renewable energy by 2030.

2. Establish, “sheltered employment schemes”, for those requiring a more supportive environment to return to work, with the aim of achieving their full participation in employment.

3. All apprentices under the age of 21 will be partnered with a Further Education college, giving access to college days or off-site training/education for key skills or other education choices.
