Jobless young people to attend 'boot camps' in 'no excuses' crackdown on youth unemployment

U-21s will have to sign up to programme within a month of claiming benefits

Jobless young people will be made to attend “boot camps” in return for benefits as part of a new Conservative drive to bring a “no excuses” culture to youth employment.

Under the plan, anyone under 21 who is out of work and on benefits will have to take part in a three-week intensive course to help them find employment or training.

They will have to sign up to the programme within a month of claiming benefits – or see those benefits stopped.

The course, which ministers are provocatively describing as a “boot camp”, includes practising job applications and interview techniques. It is expected to take 71 hours to complete and benefits will be dependent on attendance.

Our youth need to go to either a "program" that can teach them skills or they need to go to college. Maybe Germanies system would be better?

I'd like to see something along the lines of a WPA, CCC, or some of the other New Deal policies recreated.

Teach them a work ethic, then a course on how to find a job

I find this OP's thread insulting.....how in the hell is it the kids fault that they can't find summer jobs or low wage jobs in this country because Mexican's, ie illegals have pretty much taken them all? How about sending employers who hire illegals to a effin bootcamp on how to obey the damned laws in this country?
