Given the on-going economic challenges we face as a country I am committed to ensuring that the best possible opportunities exist for maximising youth engagement and progression. We need to build on and learn from best practice and there is much to be found in Wales and beyond which can help to tackle the significant challenges we face. My officials are working closely with eight Local Authorities  and other key partners to develop and test more effective approaches to ensuring young people are engaged in education and training and making good progress to further or higher education and sustained employment.
