After just one year in Government, the Lib Dems have delivered 100,000 extra apprenticeships across England to help young people get into work.
In the South East Region over 41,000 apprentices started last year, an increase of 39%.
This Huge boost in apprenticeships is more than double the expected figure.Together with the recent big fall in unemployment across the country, it shows that the Lib Dems are getting Britain working again.
Business Secretary Vince Cable commented, "The growth in apprenticeships demonstrates our commitment to delivering the skills businesses need to grow and young people need to build productive careers."
Local Campaigner Ian Chittenden added, "Apprenticeships are an excellent way to help young people gain skills and knowledge to start out on the job market. Thirteen years of Labour government left youth unemployment at record levels."
Thanks to the Lib Dems in Government there are now the biggest number of apprenticeships in our history - good news for both business and young people in our region.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Business Secretary Vince Cableare helping more and more young people get into work.
