    We have submitted evidence to the inquiry into ‘Youth employment, education and training’. Set up to complement the Milburn Review, this inquiry explores the causes of economic inactivity and how to help young people into work, education or training.

    Our response welcomes and responds to the dual focus of the inquiry on understanding and addressing the drivers behind the rising numbers of young people who are not in education, employment or training, and on how the barriers for employers to recruiting young people can be reduced. Addressing both is essential to lowering NEET rates, alongside expanding the range of labour market opportunities that young people can access.
