Healey Unveils Apprenticeship Service in Drive to Reindustrialise Britain
The new service will link young people with firms and colleges as almost one million 16-24-year-olds are not in work, education or training.
- On Monday, Chancellor John Healey announced £100 million for mayors to launch local apprenticeship services at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool.
- The program tackles the crisis of nearly 1 million 16 to 24-year-olds classified as Neet; Healey described the funding as "a down payment" on boosting youth employment.
- Local teams will act "a bit like football scouts for apprenticeships," linking young people with firms that have never previously taken on a trainee.
- West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin welcomed the initiative, noting the new resources will allow her to "widen the scope" of existing schemes she previously launched with retail funding.
- In the same speech, the Chancellor announced a £300 million Rolls-Royce investment in regional factories, pledging fiscal discipline in his upcoming Budget to drive "good growth and jobs in more places.
