Young people who have sent off scores of job applications and CVs with no result could be forgiven for dismissing the National Convention on Youth Employment held in Dundee yesterday as yet another talking shop.
The 103,000 people aged between 16 and 24 unemployed in Scotland naturally want action rather than words. They should be cheered by the scheme to provide half-price travel on ScotRail trains to people who have been unemployed for three months. That should widen the opportunity for those for whom the cost of travel is a real deterrent to attending interviews or taking up unpaid work experience opportunities.
