It said current policy enabled businesses to train established workers rather than unemployed young people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The government said the number of young people not in work, education or training was at its lowest in a decade. It has pledged to create a further three million apprenticeships before the end of Parliament in 2020.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Failing to deliver<\/strong><br \/>\nThe report, by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) and the Local Government Association (LGA), found 67% of intermediate-skilled apprentices were already employed by their company when they were given their apprenticeships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Detailed figures for the year 2013-14 showed under-19s applied for 57% of the advertised apprenticeships but were given 27% of them, whereas over-25s made up 7% of applications but filled 37% of the vacancies. The study&#8217;s authors said the government needed to undertake &#8220;significant reform&#8221; of the apprenticeship system, which they said was &#8220;failing to get to grips with stubbornly high levels of youth unemployment&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Luke Raikes, research fellow at IPPR North, said: &#8220;A high quality apprenticeship system could be used to combat youth unemployment and drive higher productivity, but the system we currently have is failing to deliver. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a big gap between the function apprenticeships should have in our economy and how they&#8217;re being used in practice: the majority of apprenticeships are being used to train older people, and those who are already employed at their company, instead of taking on young people out of work.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/education-32844164\" target=\"_blank\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The study, commissioned by the Local Government Association, found 42% of all apprenticeships created in the last five years went to people aged over 25.
