Developing Youth Training

Abstract

The link between training and industrial competitiveness was emphasised in earlier articles by Geoffrey Holland and Jenny Bacon in this journal. This is also the message which underlies current developments on youth training in Britain. From next April the Youth Training Scheme — introduced in 1983 to provide foundation training for school leavers — will be extended to give all 16 and 17 year olds entering the labour market the opportunity to obtain a vocational qualification.
