Apprentice Rushid Afzali says society should use the term LEETs (Looking for Education, Employment and Training), rather than NEETs (Not in Education, Employment and Training). He says the word NEET suggests young people do not want to work and instead portrays them as "absent". It comes after a new report published this week has found that the number of 16 to 24-year-olds in that bracket has now increased to more than a million in the UK. Channel 4 News led a discussion on the issue with Rushid, 24-year-old graduate Oscar Brown, University of Manchester Vice Chancellor Duncan Ivison and Kate Nicholls, CEO of UKHospitality.
