Minister for Employment, Mark Hoban, is urging businesses in Swansea and South West Wales to take advantage of 160,000 wage incentives offered as part of the package.
Mr Hoban said: "My message to businesses in Swansea for 2013 is simple.
"We've got up to £2,275 of cash sitting on the table waiting for you to take it up.
"So take on a young person who's been out of work for six months and the cash is yours."
