Gosport MP Caroline Dinenage has welcomed new plans to set up a Traineeship programme for young people.
The initiative will provide young people aged 16 to 24 with a tailor-made package of support that will give them the confidence, skills and experience to compete in the labour market with more experienced adults. The Government have published a discussion paper inviting views on the policy, with a view to rolling out the programme later this year.
Caroline said:
"This is great news for young people trying to get a foot on the job ladder. It's so important to equip people with the skills they need to compete and succeed in work. Here in Gosport, 2,000 people started apprenticeships last year and this traineeship programme will help more young people like them compete successfully and get jobs".
As a strong advocate of the learning and skills agenda, Caroline has a long-standing commitment to promoting vocational training and apprenticeship opportunities and regularly champions this issue both nationally and in Gosport.
