'Universal offer' for continued education and training

24 Jul 2008
The government has unveiled that from this autumn, all eighteen-year-olds will be eligible for the new 'universal offer' of government support for continued education.

All 18-year-olds who do not have at least a level 3 qualification (A-level or equivalent) will be entitled to free training to that level until they are 25, and those young people who are interested in beginning an apprenticeship will be eligible for an 'Apprenticeship Credit', a voucher to pay for training that can be used to approach an employer to encourage them to offer an apprenticeship.  Press release>>
