Scottish Government publish draft strategy to tackle youth unemployment.

Youth Employment Minister Angela Constance launched the Government's draft strategy to combat youth unemployment at the National Economic Forum. Ms Constance said:

"The strategy sets out my plans to harness spending and work across the Government as well as other important actions such as developing a single simple national offer to employers and working with a wide range of partners who can make a difference.

“We will have a particular focus on helping hard-to-reach groups, as well as supporting those who are closest to the job market and will benefit from simple measures to help them into employment".
