2. The bursary makes sense pending details. Small number of households will be worse off under UC if their child does an apprenticeship. This aims to change that. BUT funding comes from already announced pot so will leave less for actual apprenticeship training.

4. Up to £8k per apprentice at SMEs. I think this is a restatement of existing policy: £1k young apprentice payment, £2k SME hiring incentive, £3k UC jobs grant, £2k foundation apprenticeship. Rarely will anyone get all these of course (160 foundation apps last year!). Plus employer NICs relief.

Fully funding under 25s (partial u-turn on coinvestment) went under the radar. Another cost out of the GSL.

Yes a good point. I’m not sure if it’s possible to work out the likely impact. I suspect relatively small but it all adds up. And impact depends on how employers respond - on which young people and roles will they focus?
