Around 2,000 jobs with six month contracts at the minimum wage will be created in Wales for young people as part of a UK government scheme.
Welsh secretary Peter Hain said £1bn had been ploughed into the Future Jobs Fund across the UK.
In Wales, 10 schemes will target youth unemployment black spots from Pembrokeshire to Newport.
First Minister Rhodri Morgan said the scheme complemented its support and training for the long term unemployed.
Run by the Department for Work and Pensions the programme aims to create 150,000 new jobs for young people across the UK.
