Asked by:
Lewis Cocking (Conservative)

Answer

DWP provides 16-24-year-olds with labour market support through an extensive range of interventions at a national and local level.

As part of the plan to Get Britain Working we will launch a Youth Guarantee for all young people aged 18-21 in England to ensure that they can access training opportunities, an apprenticeship or help to find work.

Eight Youth Guarantee Trailblazers to test and learn before further roll out of the Youth Guarantee have launched in April.
