| 説明 | Wood report seeks 40 per cent reduction in youth unemployment by 2020.The final report by the group tasked with helping Scotland develop a world class system of vocational education and training has been welcomed by the Scottish Government.Cabinet Secretary for Training, Youth and Women’s Employment Angela Constance joined Sir Ian Wood, fellow members of the Commission for Developing Scotland’s Young Workforce and representatives from COSLA, at an Edinburgh school to mark the publication. Its recommendations include:Youth unemployment should be reduced by 40 per centEnhanced careers education in Primary SchoolThe opportunity to prepare for a Modern Apprenticeship (MA) in the senior phase of schoolMore support for employers to take on young employeesCloser links between employers and schools and collegesMeasures to improve gender balance in trainingMeasures to remove barriers for young disabled people, care leavers and black and minority ethnic groups taking up training opportunities.The Scottish Government will respond formally to the report in the coming weeks, with £12 million budget consequentials already set aside for youth employment.Speaking at Craigroyston Community High School Ms Constance said:“Today’s report sets out recommendations to deliver a 40 per cent reduction in youth unemployment by 2020 and a challenging programme to transform the way we work with young people, employers, schools and colleges to ensure that all our young women and men have the choices and opportunities they need to fulfil their potential.“Our young people are an enormous asset in helping us to achieve our aspiration to strengthen Scotland’s economy.“Our ambitions to see significant improvements in our youth employment numbers go beyond a return to pre-recession levels when, during a period of growth, youth unemployment stood 7.7 percentage points above that of the general population.“A substantial amount of activity to help young women and men towards employment is already in place, including our very successful Modern Apprenticeship programme, which has seen over 77,000 new opportunities in the last three years. Opportunities for All also guarantees every 16 to 19 year old the offer of a place in education or training.“The £12 million we announced earlier this year will help accelerate progress, and we will discuss with our partners in local government how best that is deployed.“I would like to thank Sir Ian, members of the Commission and all those who have contributed to this landmark report which both matches the scale of our ambition and clearly sets out the challenges we face in delivering it.“There is now much to consider and we will work closely with the public, private and third sectors on how the recommendations could be taken forward. Our partners in local government have a pivotal role to play in tackling youth unemployment and will be very much part of this work going forward.” |
