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.
