皇冠体育app government has announced a series of measures to prioritise youth employment including a 拢60m commitment to getting more vulnerable young people into work, a boost to Apprenticeships and radical reforms to transform vocational education.

皇冠体育app measures aim to tackle some of the long term structural barriers that stop some young people from getting a job and starting their career.

皇冠体育app Government鈥檚 priorities in this area are set out in a paper published today .

In total the Government will provide funding for up to 250,000 more Apprenticeships over the next four years, and funding for 100,000 work placements over the next two years.

A new 拢10 million a year innovation fund will also be launched aimed at the voluntary and community sector to help in the drive to help young people find jobs.

Mr Clegg welcomed today鈥檚 announcement as a chance to give 鈥測oung people a solid career grounding鈥�.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said:

We all have a responsibility; government, business, charities, education providers - to work together to find a solution. Our young people have enormous potential and enthusiasm. We have to do whatever we can to help them aspire to be happy and successful, and look to the future with hope.

Mr聽 Cameron said the measures were 鈥渁bout more than improving the jobless numbers. It鈥檚 about changing people鈥檚 lives鈥�. He said:

It鈥檚 time to reverse the trend of rising youth unemployment that has held back our country for far too long and help our young people get the jobs on which their future - and ours - depends.

But government can鈥檛 act alone. We need employers who are prepared to give young people a go. So I鈥檓 delighted that over 100 large companies and tens of thousands of small and medium sized enterprises have already responded to our call for work experience placements so that tens of thousands of young people can take those vital first steps in experiencing the world of work.
