Labour to expand youth work experience and training schemes
Labour is set to expand youth work experience and training schemes in response to rising youth unemployment. Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden announced plans for 300,000 additional placements over the next three years. This initiative aims to address the significant number of young people not in education, employment, or training, as highlighted by Alan Milburn's concerns about the current welfare system's focus on benefits over employment support.
- ▪Labour plans to create 300,000 extra work experience placements over the next three years.
- ▪Nearly 1 million young people aged 16-24 are currently not in education, employment, or training.
- ▪Young people participating in the new scheme are 13% more likely to find work within two years.
