Jobs Market: Wider Economic Implications

Contribution

With the jobs market hugely influenced by the availability of training, in particular apprenticeship training, should we not positively welcome the £820 million for the youth guarantee scheme, with its emphasis on quality? Is not the lesson that the Government have learned from the YOPs and community programmes of the 1980s that such schemes work only when they incorporate quality, real skills development, and the prospect of long-term employment? Are they not the hallmark of this much expanded and brilliant training programme?
