 Well, thank you and good morning ladies and gentlemen. So on behalf of Pearson I'd like to say we're delighted to be sponsoring the CBI Breakfast Apprenticeship Meeting with you. So just a few words to try and set some sort of context to put the event this morning into perspective for everybody. There is no doubt then for UK PLC, the development of skills in the workplace and in particular i'w ddweud cymdeithasol i'w ddweud yn fwy o'r cyffredinol, felly mae'r gweithio ar y llyfr yn y cyfrifatau ar gyfer gweithio ac yn ymgyrchau ddechrau ar gweithio John Hayes, rhai ar gyfer bod y dyfodolol o'r reisio'r gweithio yn lleiwadau o'r cyfrifatau a, oherwydd, yn y bwrd rhywbeth yng Nghymru. Mae ydych chi'n mynd i'n gweithio'r cyfrifatau o'r cyfrifatau o'r cyfnod o'r eich cyfnod o'r cyfnod o'r ffordd. Mae hwn i'n 1 yn 5 o'r pwyll, o wg 16-24, o'r holl ffattig, ac yn olygu 100,000 o'r holl ffattig wedi'u cyffredinol i'r rhesu. Yr holl ffattig o'r holl ffattig o'r UK oed yn bai gydag i 20.2%. Mae'r holl ffattig o'r holl yn union Europea. Oedden nhw, 349,16-24 o'r holl ffattig o'r holl ffattig o'r holl ffattig a d Lunarwyr i'r rhaid i 15 000 o ni yn y gorfod Awesome Gwyrdd Planner. It is now approaching levels that we haven't seen since the 1980s. A youth unemployment situation is probably exasperated now by the estimated 210,000 young people that failed to gain a university place to show. Do we have any reason then to be optimistic about the future? Well, I think we do. I think the reality is that the world in which we live today is the world in which we must survive. There will be no return then to our yesterdays but only a belief that there is a better tomorrow and a better future for British businesses. And the economy I think is fundamentally in a better working order position and most people probably do believe or actually perceive to be true. Manufacturing is growing in the UK faster than any other sector of the economy. We're still a big exporter of services around the world, we're still very innovative in this country and we're still manufacturing and we're selling profitably to other countries. And we have in government a minister who's passionate about the value of apprenticeships and that that they deliver in workforce development and perhaps the recent announcement about access to apprenticeships is both positive and welcomed by employers and one that training providers need to take into employers and explain how to use those programmes. So I hope from this breakfast meeting then that we'll leave today with a better understanding of the value that apprenticeships deliver into the workforce and that we see them and begin to recognise them as being as important as investing in plant and machinery irrespective of government funding. We know that government values skills supply but the focus is shifting rapidly to help employers to help themselves both individually and collectively and the public funding for capacity enhancement not merely the throughput of numbers must provide a real focus on business improvement it must provide impact and it must effectively utilise the skills of the workforce. And if we can do any and all of that only then will we begin to make a real dent in the unemployment figures particularly for young people and only then will the UK's economy be able to grow and fully recover from this crisis. I would ask you to take away from today and ask in your businesses what you can do to help apprenticeships in your workplace because if each and every one of our businesses were to take just one person on then we'd make a huge impact for young people in this country and we'd be able to develop a skilled workforce for the future through apprenticeship delivery. Thank you very much.
