The problem in discussions of youth unemployment & NEETs (Not in Education, Employment or Training) is the assumption that the blame for their plight lies with them; if only they'd get their act together, they'd find jobs & other opportunities.
However, actually the UK's labour market is managed to keep a relatively high level of unemployment to reduce wages, firms don't train because of cost-cutting & entry level jobs are falling due to AI!
Stop the victim blaming!

I think @Geri recently posted the statistics - the UK has over a million less vacancies than it has unemployed people. Obviously, the problem lies with the economy's failure to create jobs, not people's failure to get them.
