Employers, which could include those in possession of business insurance, should be encouraged to invest in junior staff.
This is the view of Jobsite.co.uk chief executive Keith Potts, who calls on the government to do more to ensure firms can provide apprentice and graduate schemes and are in a position where they can take on employees at a young age and develop their talent and skills over time.
"There should also be more options for those who want to continue education, but are instead looking to start work because they can't afford to go to university," he states.
Business insurance policyholders may also be interested in his claims that a lack of support for young people unsuccessful in their attempts to find work can "lead to a long-term cycle of unemployment".
And business insurance customers might particularly want to consider Mr Potts' comments after recent figures from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and KPMG revealed growth in temporary and contract staff stood at a seven-month low in June, while the rise in permanent staff placements was the slowest seen in five months.
