More Choices, More Chances

This document sets out the Government’s More Choices, More Chances strategy, which is an action plan to reduce the proportion of young people not in education employment or training in Scotland. The strategy was published alongside the complementary ‘Workforce Plus’, the Government’s Employability Framework for Scotland.

The starting point for this strategy is that, for young people, not being in education, employment or training represents an unacceptable waste of potential. Young people are sold short; economically and socially it makes no sense. The Government’s objective is to eradicate the problem. This is a national priority demanding a national effort.

The strategy document presents a detailed analysis of the problem, including the number of young people, their circumstances and their outlook. It explains the target areas of the country and the groups of young people most at risk, the aims of the strategy, and the proposed actions.
