answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>The government is committed to supporting all young people to access good careers.</p><p>We are improving access to, and the quality of, formal qualifications and training routes. We are investing over half a billion pounds a year of new funding for technical education, centred around T-levels, a set of 15 high-quality technical routes based on employer-designed standards. We are increasing the quality and quantity of apprenticeships to reach our commitment of 3 million apprenticeships by 2020 and making available around £60million to support take-up by individuals from disadvantaged areas. We are also increasing numbers of traineeships to support young people, including those from areas of disadvantage, into apprenticeships and work.</p><p>We know that education alone cannot transform social mobility. We support the Social Mobility Employer Index, which celebrates those employers leading the way in opening up access and progression. These employers are already taking important steps to engage young people, introduce fairer recruitment practices, and manage talent.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 12/09/2017 15:31:22 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
