More than one rung
YWCA today launched a great new campaign - more than one rung. About time someone started talking about supporting low-paid low-skilled young women to get a better deal. It’s incredibly timely, given Gordon Brown’s focus on increasing skills for work, and upping the number of modern apprentices, and the new talk that’s beginning to come out of DWP about sustaining people in employment and supporting them to progress to better jobs rather than staying in entry levle jobs. After all, the government could hit its 70% target for lone parent employment tomorrow if it could just keep lone parents in jobs once they got them.
