Safeguarding YOP trainees

Abstract

New Government and Manpower Service Commission proposals for the young unemployed will eventually guarantee every school leaver some form of work experience scheme in the industry of his choice. Originally these schemes were designed to allow school pupils to sample vocational training in their final year of compulsory education, but now they include a vast proportion of the country's young unemployed. With as many as 100,000 places likely to be filled over the next year, the safety of these trainees must be given serious consideration.
