## Summary

The DWP says major hospitality employers have committed to provide more than 100,000 jobs for 18 to 24-year-olds who are not in education, employment or training. The pledge is part of the Government’s Youth Guarantee, intended to help young people enter work and build skills.

A related “passport” scheme is designed to support young people seeking hospitality jobs or changing careers, and has already launched in Cardiff, London, Liverpool, Manchester and Coventry. DWP minister Andrew Western said the Government is investing an extra £2.5 billion by 2029 in the Youth Guarantee and Growth and Skills Levy, with up to 500,000 opportunities to earn and learn; the article does not explain the passport’s specific terms.
