More than 100 people have so far taken part in the scheme, which involves training and work placement.
Of those who have taken part, more than 50% have gone on to secure full time employment.
The scheme was designed and run by the Tipperary Regional Youth services.
It will be the focus of a 3 day conference in Tipperary, which will look at how other European countries are tackling the problem of youth unemployment.
