The politics of NEETs (young people not in education, employment or training), including the Alan Milburn review, has mostly focussed on the 'supply side'; what is it about NEETs that keeps them that way?
We should be more interested in why employers (specifically) are not hiring them; the demand side.
But, this shouldn't just become an excuse for (yet) more corporate welfare! The issue is some firms are now just unwilling to absorb training costs!

Employers have adopted a position of "don't water your neighbor's garden".
They see training as a waste because "train staff & they just leave for better paying jobs". Really, if 100% of new trainees are leaving that should be a red flag to management.
There's other factors at play. A desire for government subsidies. Collusion with training academies & predatory student loan issuers.
Excuse-making to overwork current staff. Pressuring them into unpaid overtime.
