Will national skills academies focussing on young people be more favourable with government?
No. National Skills Academy proposals will have to clearly state what the ‘problem’ is within the sector and how the Skills Academy will ‘fix’ this. This may mean that in some sectors there is a greater need to engage and train young people and this may be a priority for the Skills Academy. National skills academies will need to focus on priorities for their sector but recognising that the aim is that they meet the needs of all groups whether already in the sector or wanting to enter it.
