Nearly all the solutions proposed by New Labour fell under the heading of “eye-catching initiative”, i.e. they were largely ineffective, and I fear the same will prove true of Nick Clegg’s “Open Doors” campaign. This is the package of measures, announced yesterday, that are designed to level the playing field when it comes to the competition for top jobs. For instance, he wants to see an end to unpaid internships on the grounds that only the better-off can afford to do them. The problem is, that doesn’t mean business will start offering potential recruits paid work experience instead – they’ll just cut their intern programmes.
