Carl Sargeant: Marine Licences are inspected by Welsh Government Marine Enforcement Officers to ensure compliance with licence conditions. The inspection regime for each marine licence is dependant on risk assessment.

In the last three years there have been three cases of enforcement action in relation to marine licences.

Julie James: The initial target was to create 1200 graduate job opportunities over three years linked to the HEFCW delivered GO Wales programme. The target has been reduced to 565 over three years, sustainability of these opportunities has been positive with 94% of those completing their opportunity sustaining employment. Unmet numbers in the graduate strand have been re-allocated to the mainstream private sector strand, where demand has been very high, including demand for graduate recruitment.

Julie James: Welsh Government places great importance on the development of skilled graduates in Wales, and helping to create job opportunities that keep them in Wales or attract them back to Wales later in their careers. We build graduate links with Welsh companies through the GO Wales programme. More than 2,500 companies have had graduates or undergraduates introduced to them for work-based projects through GO Wales. Evaluation of the programme refers to very high levels of satisfaction and perceived success from individual and business participants.

From the 2012-13 cohort, 60 per cent of first degree graduates from Welsh universities gained employment within Wales. Even more positive is that 71 per cent of the total of first degree graduates who lived in Wales, regardless of where they studied, gained employment in Wales.

A recent report* also tells us that, compared to English regions, Wales　has a higher graduate retention rate than all except the North West and London.

Julie James: The Welsh Government is committed to ensuring that young people in Wales continue to receive the skills they need to progress in their chosen career and progress into further learning at a higher level through a number of its employability programmes. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, access to opportunities through the Jobs Growth Wales programme and Apprenticeship opportunities at Level 3 and above. The GO Wales programme has been successful in creating graduate opportunities via short term placements with all types of organisations in Wales, providing a subsidy to employers towards employment costs, and a work based learning award to add value to the experience (a City and Guilds Professional Development Award). 

Andrew RT Davies (Canol De Cymru):  Pa asesiad y mae'r Gweinidog wedi'i wneud o hysbysebu neu hyrwyddo swyddi sy'n talu'r isafswm cyflog, neu ychydig yn uwch na hynny, i raddedigion yng Nghymru, sy'n arwain at dangyflogaeth posibl ymhlith graddedigion yng Nghymru? (WAQ67788)

Julie James: Welsh Government does not assess advertising and promotion in respect of general graduate job opportunities. Where opportunities are linked to specific programmes such as GO Wales, our providers do of course adhere to relevant employment legislation.

The Higher Education Careers Services Unit (HECSU) and the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services (AGCAS) advises in its 2014 report ‘Where do Graduates Go’ that, whilst there are more opportunities for graduates to find and secure work in the labour market, it is important that they maintain realistic expectations of future salaries. It is inevitable that, in a very competitive jobs market, some graduates have to take work at a relatively low salary to gain experience that will enable them to progress in later careers.

Average graduate salaries differ depending on the job, the employer and the region of employment, which is why the average salary for 2012/13 graduates ranges from £18,615 - £22,785 for full-time graduates who were working full-time in the UK in professional and managerial jobs as well as non-professional jobs.
