Baroness Lloyd of Effra (Lab)
Some of the programmes that I have mentioned, including the TechFirst programme, have been running for some time. TechFirst has been successfully run and we learn from what is effective. We work carefully with partners to deliver these programmes. They are seeing good outcomes in the alumni who then go into the industry.
Lord Fox (LD)
My Lords, whatever the effect on jobs, the figures set out by the noble Lord, Lord Khan, indicate that there is already a crisis of confidence among our young people as they face the future. The point made by the noble Baroness, Lady Lane-Fox, is key. What are the Government doing, alongside training, to set out a vision—a human vision—for the young people of today?
Baroness Lloyd of Effra (Lab)
We are supporting young people to get into work. We are supporting youth employment through the changes to the youth guarantee and to the growth and skills levy, so that we can provide work and training places in jobs. We can support businesses hiring those young people, so that they get the opportunity of the experience of work and of the changing labour force, and can be supported through that.
