New deal for young people

The government has announced a new deal for young people, aiming to provide real work opportunities. This initiative seeks to end the 'degree by default' culture, promoting alternative paths to success. By doing so, it hopes to create a renewed social contract where hard work is rewarded. The focus is on delivering a range of opportunities for young people to gain skills and experience. This move is expected to have a positive impact on youth apprenticeships, providing a more diverse range of options for young people to pursue.
