does someone know how to quote a post which itself quote another one and still see both in the quoted post ? Like for example if I quote this random post from YoungWillz (sorry you're my test subject), how can I manage to insert the post that YoungWillz himself/herself was quoting ?

Having problems making it enlarge?

 

Replace the x with twitter. Everything should embed that way. Thanks to The Old Crem for the tip btw.

When highlighting text, an option to quote will be available. If you also include the "On X time, X user said" in that selection and then quote it, it should quote both the post that the user made and the one that is being quoted. Like this:

Is there something like the Job Corps in the UK? This is a federal program in the USA for youths between the ages of 16–24, which trains them for careers and they can also earn their Secondary Diploma. The youths live at the facilities and get a bed, food, a small stipend, career training, etc. Some of the youths might have had minor issues with law enforcement or are coming out of foster care, however most of them are usually lower income young people needing help in getting job training and need a place to finish their Secondary Education.

I am asking for a young person from the UK I met online who could use the help and information. Thanks for reading this! (Not sure where to ask this. Hope this is the correct place.)

Not really. Long ago there was YTS and YOP which were the subject of quite a few jokes back in the day. These were later replaced by simply YT, which is also gone.

 

They all failed in one way or another, arguably because all that happened was those nasty capitalist companies just used government funding (i.e. other peoples taxes) to pay most of the wages of young people they then just used for cheap labour citing it as on the job training.

To be fair any discussion about that will have advocates on both sides because some companies were much better than this very low bar and did include proper training and day release for college courses and so on. Regardless of the reasoning, the schemes themselves are long gone.

 

The latest I'm aware of was called kickstart and that was ended in January last year.

 

Here's a report from a professor at the university of Bath (it's a bit of a long read).

 

A more readable precis is available here (which although its a local report to the NE basically covers the topic nationwide.)

 

 

TL:DR - Not that I'm aware of, but it's a damn long time since I was of an age where it was pertinent so younger posters hereabouts may be more up to date .
