National internship programme ‘has potential’ to employ 20,000 graduates
It is proposing that the scheme gives unemployed graduates valuable work experience while being allowed to receive the full rate of jobseeker’s benefit.
Almost 91,000 people under the age of 25 were on the live register in August, up from 51,300 in 2008, and just over 59,000 graduates were unemployed in March of this year.
