Create new pre-apprenticeship scheme to close youth unemployment gap, says Milburn

Alan Milburn, a former minister, is proposing a new pre-apprenticeship scheme to address the issue of youth unemployment in England. This scheme would provide young people with further education, training, and work experience before they start their apprenticeships. The goal is to close the gap between leaving school and entering the workforce, which has seen a significant drop in apprenticeship starts. This initiative aims to help young people acquire the necessary skills and experience to succeed in their careers.
