CBI: Sandwich courses could help young get jobs The CBI is encouraging universities to introduce more courses that enable students to earn while they learn. The number of people undertaking part-time undergraduate training has fallen by 40% over the past few years. Employer-backed "sandwich" courses give students practical work experience or allow them to support their studies. CBI policy director Katja Hall told BBC Radio 5 live's Wake Up to Money: "Universities need to be more creative in developing courses... that will help those young people get jobs in a really competitive jobs market."
