Did
you know for instance...
From 1st
September 1999, young people aged 16 and 17 who left school or
college with few if any qualifications will be entitled to time
off from work to study.
New legislation
has been introduced which means that any young person who hasn't
already achieved a qualification at "Level 2" can expect
reasonable paid time off during normal working hours to study
or train for a qualification. This is part of the Government's
new strategy for 'Investing in Young People' and gives them the
chance to improve whilst on the job.
Level
2 here means:
| |
»
5 GCSEs grades A to C; or |
| |
»
an NVQ Level 2; or |
| |
»
an intermediate GNVQ; or |
| |
»
a BTEC First; or |
| |
»
another specified qualification. |
Providing
young people with the chance to get a qualification makes good
business sense and will be of real benefit to employers. For example,
one of the newest ways for young people to get the skills and
qualifications to do a job is through a National Traineeship and
employers can get help with the cost of training too.
We can advise
you about how the Right to Time Off for Study or Training may
affect you and how you can benefit.
