We Should Use Public Procurement to boost Apprenticeships




Today in my Select Committee, I urged the Government to use public procurement to boost the number of apprentices - as is already happening in the Department for Work and Pensions. You can see the full interview on the video above.

If just one apprentice was employed for every £1 million pounds spent by the Government on procurement, we could instantly create 238,000 apprentices.

If successful, this could reduce youth unemployment by a quarter.
