33% of financially disadvantaged young people are not in sustained work or education 5 years after GCSEs.

Only 8% of unqualified adults participate in training despite being the group that would benefit the most from it.

Government-funded investment in adult skills accounts for only 7% of investment, with £63 million of the adult skills budget unspent in 2016-17.
