Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Harper (Conservative). It was answered by Bill Rammell (Labour) on Thursday, 27 March 2008 on behalf of the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills.


Training (Young People)

Question
What steps he is taking to improve training opportunities for 16 to 24-year-olds.
Answer

Our plans to expand and improve apprenticeships in England are set out in ““World-class Apprenticeships””. We will ensure that the foundation learning tier is available to young people for whom a programme below level 2 is appropriate. We will introduce new diplomas offering a mix of practical and theoretical learning for 14 to 19-year-olds from September 2008. We are also improving the provision of high-quality, impartial careers information, advice and guidance to young people and adults.
