Summary
The government’s rolling out major new efforts to tackle youth unemployment, appointing Marc Bolland—former Marks & Spencer boss and founder of Movement to Work—to rally business leaders and create real pathways for young people aged 18 to 21. His mission? Turn the tide on the “lost generation” of over a million “Neets” (not in education, employment, or training), as warned by former minister Alan Milburn. With big corporate pledges for 300,000 placements over three years and Bolland’s proven track record—including helping 200,000 disadvantaged youth—this push aims to deliver practical, sustainable opportunities where it’s needed most.
