answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2014 answer text <p>The Inspiration Vision Statement encourages schools and employers to work together to better prepare young people for the world of work. We know that many schools and employers have taken up the challenge and that there are many examples of positive engagement between employers and schools.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>However, the evidence is that all young people do not yet have equal access to excellent careers advice, guidance and inspiration. That is why the Government has made available £20 million to support improvements in this area in the Autumn Statement, and, further announced on 10 December, the creation of a new employer-led careers and enterprise company. The new company will support much greater engagement between employers on the one hand and schools and colleges on the other, to create inspired and skilled young people ready to engage positively with the world of work.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 17/12/2014 15:54:43 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The Secure College in Leicestershire will be the first of a new generation of secure educational establishments which will put education at the heart of youth custody. It will inform our vision for the future of the youth custodial estate across England and Wales.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Education provision will be tailored to the particular needs of young people in custody. We anticipate Secure Colleges providing a strong focus on the core skills, such as literacy and numeracy, which all young people need, but with sufficient flexibility for vocational training and workplace skills to develop those offenders seeking employment on release. We would want to afford operators the same freedoms as academies, to personalise learning pathways and target intervention.</p><p> </p><p>The Secure College Pathfinder operator will make continuous assessment of young people to ensure that they progress towards the targets set out in their individual plans.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 17/12/2014 17:39:50 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
