Proceeding contribution from Gavin Williamson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 January 2021. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Skills for Jobs White Paper.


Skills for Jobs White Paper

My hon. Friend is so right, and many young people in her constituency will be looking for the opportunity to unlock their true potential. That

will not always be through a university degree; so often, it is through our amazing further education colleges, which deliver for their communities. Making this investment and these reforms will enable them to go from strength to strength, while being absolutely rooted in the needs of the local economy. Let us make sure that we are training our young people with the skills that they need in order to get the jobs that are out there, as against skills that lead to no jobs.
