The Prince’s Trust and Tesco have recently launched a new programme to help 500 unemployed young people (18-24 years old) to find jobs by offering employability skill training, hands-on experience and mentoring. Till date the successful pilot programme in London has helped 12 young people to get jobs at Tesco, while other programmes will be rolled out in areas such as Glasgow, Liverpool, Middlesbrough, Birmingham and North Wales soon.
All participants of the programme would receive ongoing support from Tesco and The Prince’s Trust following the four-week scheme. “I’m incredibly proud of our record of helping young people to get a foot on the career ladder. We want to go even further by supporting more young people in the communities we serve, and by working together with The Prince’s Trust on this fantastic programme we can really change lives,” said Judith Nelson, UK Personnel Director at Tesco.
