We do not hold a breakdown of this funding.<\/p>
<\/p>
Allocation of skills funding for people aged 19 and over is available for those who need support to gain sustainable employment wherever they are. Our priorities are apprenticeships, traineeships, English and maths for those who need it and support for the unemployed to get into the labour market. Young people who did not achieve GCSEs or A Level equivalent at school can receive free training up to age 23.<\/p>
These priorities are focused on targeting young people ensuring that they are ready for employment or further training.<\/p>
<\/p>
The government will invest around £7 billion during 2016/17, to ensure there is a place in education or training for every 16 to 19-year old who wants one (including spend on apprenticeships for this age group). Around £540 million of this funding has been allocated to provide extra support specifically for disadvantaged students.<\/p>
<\/p>
Responsibility for identifying and supporting 16 to 19-year olds who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) lies with local authorities. Whilst the government provides the framework and funding to increase participation, responsibility and accountability lies with local authorities. They are responsible for making sure that there is sufficient, suitable education and training provision to meet those needs, and supporting young people to participate.<\/p>
<\/p>
There is a range of support and guidance that contributes to reducing the number of 16 to 18-year olds NEET, including independent careers advice in schools and colleges, and access to the 16 to 19 Bursary Fund.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1523", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anne Milton"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Guildford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anne Milton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-09-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-09-15T11:45:49.25Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-09-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Unemployment: County Durham"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what additional funding and resources her Department is providing to reduce the number of people not in education, employment and training in (a) Easington constituency and (b) County Durham.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3973", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Grahame Morris"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Easington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Grahame Morris"} ], "uin" : "9555"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/417694", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/417694/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
