To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what steps will he take to ensure that more employment opportunities can be found for school leavers with learning difficulties in Wales.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The Government guarantee a place on YTS for all 16 and 17-year-olds who seek one, and the scheme offers those with learning difficulties the opportunity to develop basic skills and achieve recognised qualifications.

The careers service and the employment service provide specialist advice and guidance to all young people with special needs to enable them to find suitable training and/or employment.
