Ministers said overall employment remains high but accepted that too many young people are still out of work or education, pointing to £2.5 billion for a youth guarantee and a £3,000 hiring incentive for 18 to 24-year-olds. Opposition MPs highlighted falling graduate recruitment and rising youth unemployment in their areas, while Labour also faced questions over graduate unemployment and whether the student loan system is fair to everyone who went to university.

Ministers defended a £1bn plan to create 50,000 more foundation apprenticeships and pay small employers £2,000 for hiring young apprentices, but were challenged over falling local starts, calls for 100,000 new places, and provider rules that some firms say block them from offering more training.

Ministers said new V-levels, improved T-levels and clearer routes after 16 would link training more closely to jobs, while MPs pressed them on college pay gaps and claims that existing apprenticeships are losing funding; the Government pointed to extra college funding and said it would examine specific concerns from providers.

The Lords questioned whether the Government’s £2.5bn youth guarantee, apprenticeships and paid work placements will help nearly 1 million young people who are not in education, employment or training, while critics argued that higher employment costs and weak welfare reform could make entry-level jobs harder to find.
