The Cabinet Office think they might have found the solution to long-term youth unemployment in the UK: they’re going to “hack” it. Later this month they are are hosting a “Job Hack” where a “diverse group of talented and creative people who will collaborate to find solutions” to youth unemployment.

It’s not clear exactly what the government expects the crack team of “solution architects” and “creative people” they are inviting to a “Digital Catapult Centre” to do, with the Cabinet Office vaguely saying only they are hoping for “new ideas“.  Good luck with that…
