Nice idea in theory but it won't work in practice. Apprenticeships and Entry level jobs are very competitive and 'training' and 'placements' seems like it'll just be free labour for companies with no hope of a job by the end of it.

Pray do tell, how do you know they aren't British? Have you spoken to them? do you know their life stories? Also 85% is a specific number, how did you come up with that number exactly?

You can tell by there accents. Are staff on this site allowed to be rude to other members and put down every opinion they have? That is all you done to me today its not right

I'm asking you questions, it is not a crime.

You have to start somewhere, start with those who mainly live at home and have not paid into the system.

They should be teaching kids about the real world in school, not wasting precious hours of their school life learning Shakespeare and ridiculous algebra problems. They don't need that in their heads, they need a firm grasp of the real world.

I'm all for this, if it actually comes into fruition. But I think things could be better before these youngsters leave the safety of school.

I'm agreeing with Glenn.

I live in a town where most jobs are seasonal so for me I'm only working 6/7 months a year every job I had I've paid into the system but I know how hard it is to be young and trying to get a job

People in your situation should be treated differently, they probably won't though.
