are they going to stop all that Blairite stuff about if you don’t go to UNI you’re had it
Guaranteed a job, but are you guaranteed to actually get an actual wage or just your benefits as it was under new deal/the Tory Poundland scheme?
Well I guess that’ll fall under “work experience” aka mandatory “voluntary” work. Politicians never learn.
They’ll get a work placement, be told there might be a job at the end of it, then after the government funding ends the next lot will be brought in to replace them and repeat the cycle.
But wait they didn’t count as unemployed for that period so the youth unemployment stats go down.
This is the usual ‘jam tomorrow’ government boast about future benefits.
Here’s the breakdown without the spin:
“young people will receive six weeks of training, work experience, and a guaranteed job interview”
The Jobcentre already offers variations of this. This is nothing new.
When I graduated from Uni straight into the 2008 financial crisis I benefited from a similar scheme. It was government funded but administered by the uni, who got small local businesses on board. The idea was they got a graduate funded for x months (which could be doubled at the end of the term).
I did it and got a permanent role from it, which was a godsend in the economic climate back then.
We don’t even know what the economy will look like as more and more office jobs are lost to automation. Right now, we need mechanical engineers, AI engineers, electrical engineers, and skilled tradespeople. We need to specialise deeply into guilds so that when a task arises, the guilds have the knowledge and experience to deal with it. At present, we outsource everything to people whose aim is simply to extract wealth from the UK, while some politician with no credentials is told what to say. It’s time to move on from the Punch and Judy show.
