The group of 12-to-25-year-olds described its recommendation to Dubbo City Council as one that would be a "win-win" for both organisations.

And it offered to contribute from its own budget to meet some of the cost that would fall to the council, estimated at about $21,800.

The youth council proposal was put to the council's finance and policy committee meeting this month during a report on its activities.

Youth council members Natasha Wykes and Leticia Quince spoke with enthusiasm about the group's projects and the development opportunities it had provided to them.

They then presented a letter about the traineeship, the group's recommendation for youth services and facilities in 2015-2016.

The traineeship should be implemented by the council to work with its youth development and Aboriginal liaison officers to help "better engage young people", the letter from youth council chairman Daniel Runciman said.

The concept they endorsed would see a position open to new school leavers that had committed to the youth council for a period of no less than 12 months.

"This proposed traineeship would allow one community-minded young person to gain a nationally recognised qualification and give the successful applicant an opportunity to gain experience working in the local government sector each year and assist with better youth engagement," Mr Runciman said.

"We at the Dubbo City Youth Council see this as a win-win for both parties as it will allow council to grow and foster a strong, local workforce and assist the Dubbo City Youth Council in growing and enticing new committed members."

The youth council also provided a cost estimate for the position of a certificate three community services - community services work trainee. The cost to the council was estimated at $21,847, with an external training organisation to provide about $28,300. Committee chairman John Walkom said they would consider the recommendation in the coming months.
