Candidate view
Two youth jobs programmes: which buys more outcome?
The prompt
A government has USD 10 million to help young people find jobs. Programme A (classroom training) costs USD 2,000 per trainee, and 25 percent of trainees find a job they would not otherwise have found. Programme B (paid apprenticeships with employers) costs USD 5,000 per trainee, and 70 percent find a job they would not otherwise have found. Which programme gets more extra jobs for the money?
Your interviewer will share data as you ask for it. Ask clarifying questions, state a hypothesis, then lay out your structure out loud before you calculate.
