The government has unveiled plans to get more youngsters on Universal Credit into construction.
Construction is one of the focus industries alongside health, social care and hospitality for the new £820m initiative.
The government said jobless youngsters will “be referred to one of up to six pathways by their work coach: work, work experience, apprenticeship, wider training, learning or a workplace training programme with a guaranteed interview, designed in partnership with employers.
“As part of this training, young people will receive six weeks of training, work experience, and a guaranteed job interview, giving young people their first foot in the door towards meaningful employment.”
