Jobseekers could benefit from cash incentives for employers
Giving employers cash incentives to run internships would be beneficial to both the economy and youngsters struggling to find a job.
This is according to Ginny Lunn, director of policy and development at the Prince's Trust - which works with 14-30 year-olds and aims to develop key skills - who said youths have been hit by the recession the worst.
She added: "We know that even the hardest-to-reach youngsters can succeed in the workplace given the right support."
Gaining experience from internships could lead youths to attain a job in the public sector and Ms Lunn stated that more than three in four of the Prince's Trust's attendees move into education, work or training.
Her comments come after independent thinktank Demos said that companies which give disadvantaged young people - which includes care leavers and offenders - a chance in life with an internship should be financially rewarded by the government.
