Building Britain's Future: the jobs and skills goals

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has set out his government strategy with the publication of the Building Britain's Future report.

Included in the report is a list of deliverables for 2009/2010. Here are the jobs and skills pledges that caught my eye:

  • An extra 35,000 apprentices start work bringing the total to over 250,000
  • Young persons guarantee of a job or training place introduced for all 18-24 year olds before they reach long-term unemployment
  • 150,000 jobs through £1 billion Future Jobs Fund
  • Subsidised training or employment for adults unemployed for six months
  • Guarantee of a sixth form, college or apprenticeship place to all school leavers who want one
  • National roll out of an integrated employment and skills system
