We’re supporting the expansion of the Youth Guarantee.
“We are pleased to see the Government take up our call for an expanded wage subsidy programme for young people.
If we all work together so every young person is able to make the most of their talents, we will all benefit.”
“The Government is right to extend help like the Job Guarantee to those aged 22-24, as this group is more likely to be NEET than the 18-21 year olds the policy was previously focused on.”
💬 @Stephen_EvansUK responds to DWP’s Youth Guarantee announcement.

https://t.co/HitolBOU4i
Our latest report funded by @NuffieldFound warns of overreliance on mandatory and compliance training in UK workplaces compared to other countries.
🧵(1/5)

So 'tick-box' training comes at the expense of more in-depth upskilling required for the jobs of the future.
