The NESF aims to advance the understanding & education of young people in the North East of England, in the fields of #science#technology#engineering & #maths
Unemployment is at 5% & apprenticeship starts are down 40%. At @UTCSouthDurham, nearly 40% of students go into paid apprenticeships - proof technical pathways work.
The government must reform Apprenticeship Levy & expand UTCs so all can access real career opportunities.
Unemployment has risen to 5%. Britain is not short of talent or ambition; we are short of a system capable of connecting young people with meaningful careers & giving employers the confidence to invest in skills.

“Britain doesn’t have a talent problem; it has a system problem.”
Powerful words from our trustee David Land, in @Telegraph.
With UK unemployment at 5%, we urgently need stronger technical pathways, Apprenticeship Levy reform, & real connections between education & industry.

Chair of UTC South Durham David Land says Britain has 'fallen so far behind' Europe on skills. Just 4% of under-25s in England have technical qualifications vs 20% in Germany, where apprenticeships are the norm and engineers are valued like doctors.
Tania Cooper MBE, chair of the North East STEM Foundation, gives @FENews her reaction to the Government's skills reform announcement that will include an additional 30,000 apprenticeships over the next four years:

A record £3bn investment will create 120,000 new training opportunities - including 30,000 apprenticeships.
We back this bold move to close the skills gap and open doors into high-demand sectors.
