Intern plan to ease graduate woes

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/7821629.stm

Summary:
This year 300,000 students will graduate, but most of them won’t be able to secure a job as a cause of the economic crisis and . University secretary John Denman came with the proposal to offer internships for the graduates and this will be for at least three months. During their internships they will improve participant’s skills, experiences and for some graduates it may be lead to full-time work. Secretary David Willets don’t think this proposal will secure a job for all graduates, so he came with the proposal for a train-to-gain program, this will help the graduates to get apprenticeships and worthwhile job opportunities.

Opinion:
I think the proposal to offer internships seems to be a good step in the right direction but it isn’t still able to insure graduates of a full-time job. The Government have to go on with finding a solution which can insure a full-time job for all graduates.
The 300,000 graduates will be fed up with this current situation, because they studied hard for years to graduate so that they would be sure they would get a (good) job and now that they have graduated they aren’t still secure to get a job.
