Budget speech
extract:
Chancellor: ... RHFs the Education Secretary and the Work
and Pensions Secretary, are taking action to give people the skills
they need to get jobs or get better jobs: The Restart programme –
supporting over a million long term unemployed people. The number
of work coaches – doubled. The Kickstart scheme – funding high
quality jobs for a quarter of a million young
people.
The Prime Minister’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee – giving every adult
the opportunity for a fully-funded Level 3 qualification. And we
want businesses to hire new apprentices so we’re paying them more
to do it. Today, I’m doubling the incentive payments we give
businesses to £3,000 – that’s for all new hires, of any age.
Alongside investing £126m of new money to triple the number of
traineeships… …we’re taking what works to get people into jobs and
making it better.
