Description

The government unveils a £725 million initiative to boost apprenticeships, targeting sectors like AI, hospitality, and engineering. The plan includes fully funding apprenticeships for under-25s in small and medium-sized businesses, a £140 million pilot program, and 55,600 six-month job placements in high youth unemployment areas. This move aims to tackle rising youth unemployment and reverse a nearly 40% decline in youth apprenticeships over the last decade.
