Ministers to pay private companies to wake up and drive teenagers to work Disengaged young people often have complex problems that act as a barrier to getting them learning again, which the Government alone can't deal with. But very often local charities and businesses know what's going to help them. One scheme in the North East, run by Pertemps People Development Group, will see wake-up calls offered "to help young people develop a routine." Another, in Yorkshire, will see ex-soldiers deliver motivational sessions to disengaged youngsters through the Heroes to Inspire campaign. Mr Clegg said organisations chosen to provide help should "be as creative and innovative as they can, to do whatever it takes, to get the young people who need it most back on their feet." He added: "In exchange for this freedom, all we ask is that they get results. It's a win-win for the Government, young people and the organisations involved. The three-year programme will focus on 16 to 17-year-old Neets with no A* to C GCSEs who are at the highest risk of long-term disengagement.
