LONDON, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) The British government on Wednesday unveiled a 1,000-pound (about 1,374 U.S. dollars) cash boost scheme to help businesses with the cost of providing a traineeship in order to help young people with jobs. The new scheme will support young people to gain the skills and experience they need from the very start, helping them to get a job, an apprenticeship, or pursue further study, according to a joint press release issued by the British Department for Education and the Treasury.
The funding is expected to be available until July 31 this year. Businesses providing new traineeship opportunities will receive the 1,000 pounds bonus for every trainee they take on with up to a maximum of 10 trainees, said the document.

LONDON, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) The COVID-19 pandemic sent unemployment rate in London rocketing to 6.9 percent from September to November 2020, the highest level in Britain, prompting the London Assembly to make a call on Tuesday for an urgent action.
The 25-member assembly made the call in response to London s latest unemployment data, published by the British Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Tuesday.
Between September and November 2020, the unemployment rate across Britain rose to 5 percent, but for the three months London had the highest unemployment rate estimate in the country at 6.9 percent.
