Calls to create more apprenticeships
Monday, 01 February 2010
YMCA England is calling on politicians to do more to create apprenticeship opportunities for older young people.
The call was made in the charity's Manifesto for the General Election, which was published last month. It claims that while many apprenticeship opportunities exist for 16- to 18-year-olds, young people over 19 struggle to find relevant places.
It also wants improvements to the way information, advice and guidance (IAG) services are delivered. "An impartial service, which is accessible to all ages, would go a long way to removing the barriers to information," the manifesto states.
