To think that we are all the same and going to follow the same journey, that is wrong. We are going to support and liberate people, to give people as many opportunities to succeed as possible without being prescriptive.
Quote by -Esther McVey
That is what we should be doing: liberating everyone's potential, whether it's a self-made individual, whether it's someone taking the university route, whether it's the apprenticeship route. They are all equal and good and worthwhile.
Quote by -Esther McVey
If your route is that you are practically minded, and that is what presses your button, and you do an apprenticeship and you get a job that way, that is fantastic.
Quote by -Esther McVey
If that is your route, to go to university and get a job that way, that is fantastic.
Quote by -Esther McVey
The government should only have one voice so the country knows what we stand for, so the world knows what we stand for.
Quote by -Esther McVey
We all have dreams, whether it be about success in our careers, improving our relationship with family and friends, or sorting out our finances.
Quote by -Esther McVey
Success isn't anything to do with being lucky. It's knowing what you want, taking the necessary action, and believing you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
Quote by -Esther McVey
Life teaches you it's not where you come from, it's where you get to, and work is exactly the same.
Quote by -Esther McVey
When I speak to young people around the country, I'm impressed with the confidence and self-assuredness with which they look to the future and the range of options they consider beyond traditional routes.
Quote by -Esther McVey
Top performers in their fields such as Debbie Moore, Jean-Christophe Novelli, Deborah Meaden and Jo Malone, did not go to university and are just a handful of the individuals who show that with drive and determination, you can succeed by treading your own path.
Quote by -Esther McVey
I'm forever being told, and intrinsically understand, that people want to study at different times in their lives, often inspired to do so when they see the practical benefits of their studies.
Quote by -Esther McVey
Every Labour government has left office with higher unemployment than when it entered.
Quote by -Esther McVey
Labour's disastrous legacy and the Conservative success did not happen by accident: it was about the choices each party made, choices that impact on everyone.
Quote by -Esther McVey
Labour parades compassion for the poor, but it practised casual cruelty by consigning millions to benefits. Yet there's nothing compassionate about being trapped on benefits, being robbed of the dignity of work, and shut out from the choices that brings.
Quote by -Esther McVey
Everyone deserves the chance to make their own choices. The first step on this pathway is experiencing the working world.
Quote by -Esther McVey
Work experience for many is their first taste of work and an essential first step into the jobs market.
Quote by -Esther McVey
People no longer have one job for life, so it is right that younger generations adapt.
Quote by -Esther McVey
It is only by giving people the tools to empower themselves will they be able to achieve their potential.
Quote by -Esther McVey
We have seen a shift in the focus of education before entering the workplace, with earning and learning the new norm.
Quote by -Esther McVey
Lifelong learning is becoming commonplace, with people studying at different times when they see the benefits of doing so.
Quote by -Esther McVey
I work with a host of amazing women who act as role models, who give their spare time freely to encourage these girls to give things a go, to reach out and take a chance and to explain that should they fail, well that's just a part of life.
Quote by -Esther McVey
My dissertation focused on the character traits and personality types of successful women.
Quote by -Esther McVey
If people are coming into the country to add an extra dimension, to bring skills and expertise with them, we have always been open to that.
Quote by -Esther McVey
Not only does work experience provide the opportunity to sample a potential career, but it also builds the essential skills often regarded as 'soft skills' that are needed to thrive in work.
Quote by -Esther McVey
If feminism was a dress, it would be that essential little black number, reached for in times of need; different for everyone but a steady constant in a woman's life. Outspoken or understated, demure or provocative, worn to reflect the mood, the personality, the time.
Quote by -Esther McVey
David Cameron, and before him Iain Duncan Smith, went out of their way to attract women into the party. Yes, we need to sell politics to more women, but quotas are not the way forward. You set a quota, what is the right quota? What is the wrong quota?
Quote by -Esther McVey
Outside Westminster, political debate must seem like white noise that bears little relevance to people's everyday lives. But political choices made by the governments we elect have a real impact on how we live.
Quote by -Esther McVey
Only three per cent of people are born with a disability; the rest acquire it through accident or illness, but people come out of it. Thanks to medical advances, bodies heal.
Quote by -Esther McVey
Growing up with a bold feminist in my mother, I witnessed her march magnificently from mini to maxi, fashions so obviously linked to powerful statements of female progression, equality and recognition. I knew no other than freedom of expression in all the forms it came in; art, theatre, fashion, literature and music.
Quote by -Esther McVey
For too long, people have had to neutralise or lose their accent out of fear of prejudicial treatment or to fit in. This has then led to a lack of regional accents, which has allowed this lazy stereotyping and prejudicial attitudes to prevail.
