Government officials believe a new employment centre in Newcastle will help boost young people's chances of landing a job.
The Department of Employment and Labour is opening the facility on Tuesday, along with two Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) buses.
The department's Sabelo Mali says the buses will be driven to rural communities in and around the area that don't have labour centres.

"The employment centre can also be called a youth centre because it’s where young people and people who are looking for jobs opportunity services.
"In terms of doing employment counselling, looking at the nature of the CV, because when you apply for a job, you must have a proper CV. So that facility is going to be officially opened.
"They will be launching buses because our people are struggling to come to the city and because of the challenge of long queues."
