Youth Guarantee: Armed Forces
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether careers in the armed forces will be included in the Youth Guarantee.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
As set out in the Get Britain Working White Paper, we are developing a Youth Guarantee to ensure young people are either learning or earning. This includes access to high-quality training, apprenticeships, and personalised support to find work.
In PQ 38965 the Department for Work and Pensions confirmed its commitment to working closely alongside the Ministry of Defence to identify and support anyone in receipt of benefits with transferable skills to move into careers within the Armed Forces, with a particular focus on younger customers.
