Poll: Do you think unemployed young people should be sent to 'work boot camps'?

Plans for courses are set to be in place in the UK by April 2017.

The 18- 21-year-olds will receive an initial three-week intensive course of practising job applications and interviews, which will be regularly reviewed by a dedicated job coach.
