ANSWER
01 THE SCALE
So, let’s start by saving money, establishing personal worth for the NEET generation and begin fuelling growth.
//TL:DR
For less than 1% of allocated funds, let's start by saving over £250m. We will bring AI training, support and paid employment to 50,000 NEETs. We will upscale over 200,000 SMEs in the value of AI -> giving them the advantages of AI. For all confidence, purpose and growth.
