The National Pathway Management Network (PYEI)
The National Pathway Management Network is an initiative of the Presidential Youth Employment Intervention (PYEI). It brings together many partners in a coordinated system that enables young people to find pathways and successfully transition from learning to earning at scale. Led by the Department of Employment and Labour, the National Pathway Management Network links young people to opportunities and support, identifies and addresses barriers, and supports the creation of opportunities also. With support from the stimulus, an eco-system manager for the NPMN has been appointed and an associated Innovation Fund has been set up, both through the Jobs Fund. The Department of Labour also supported 215 labour counsellors across various labour centres in the country, to assist employers to clearly specify their job requirements and to build competency profiles that will enable effective placement of work seekers as well as support to upskilling of candidates where necessary.

(Data captured up until March 2025)
The Presidential Employment Stimulus consolidates data reported by participating departments. This data is subject to ongoing verification and audit by departments. The numbers reported may change based on final verification and audit outcomes. Where work opportunities straddle financial years, the audit process requires that they are reported in both years. For example, Teachers Assistants who start work in February and continue into the next financial year. To avoid ‘double counting’ of participants, this is corrected under ‘total opportunities’ reported. Note however that under the performance breakdown, the cumulative annual figures are presented.
