A review by former minister Alan Milburn warned that one in six young people could be out of work, education, or training within five years without action. Marc Bolland was tasked with bringing business leaders together to expand opportunities and advising Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden on the response. The review found that six in 10 NEETs had never had a job, while 84% of surveyed NEET young people want a job or training. Official figures showed more than one million young people not in education, employment, or training, the highest level in over 12 years. The government announced major UK businesses would support 300,000 work experience and training placements over the next three years. Bolland previously led Morrisons and worked at Heineken, and founded Movement to Work in 2012, helping more than 200,000 disadvantaged young people into work.
"The review, authored by former minister Alan Milburn, found that one in six young people is set to be out of work, education or training in five years unless action is taken."
"After the release of Milburn's report, the government announced some of the UK's biggest businesses would back 300,000 work experience and training placements for young people over the next three years."
