Graduates aged between 18 and 24 who are out of work for longer than six months will be guaranteed the offer of a job, training or work experience as part of government scheme. The scheme, known as the Young Person's Guarantee, is available from today and is aimed at creating as many opportunities as possible for graduates and non-graduates alike. It will provide up to 470,000 opportunities over the next 15 months to attempt to deal with a joblessness scenario that means that 100,000 individuals are already eligible for the scheme. Within the guarantee is a chance for internships for graduates and non-graduates, help with self-employment, a place on a Community Task Force, work-focused training, and the opportunity to apply for a new job through the Future Jobs Fund. Speaking at the launch Lord Mandleson said: "Young people have been at the centre of Government's response to unemployment and the recession, but we must not be complacent. Our support is an investment in our future as we build a stronger Britain." A survey released last week that half of graduates want more opportunity to innovate in their jobs.
