It will give more young people their first foot on the jobs ladder and give employers a bigger pool to recruit from. It is a win-win – and I hope one that other sectors will embrace,” he said.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top business and political stories, and incisive analysis straight to your inbox.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe group of retailers, represented by the British Retail Consortium (BRC), have worked with the government to develop the programme, which will allow young jobseekers to continue to claim benefits while on work experience. \n\nThey will then be given an interview at the end of their placement and given a permanent role if one is available. Last month, Prime Minister Andy Burnham urged retailers to address the youth unemployment crisis after Sainsbury’s unveiled 10,000 unpaid work experience placements for young people. Responding to retailers’ commitment to create 100,000 new jobs, Burnham said: “Too many young people are trapped in a vicious cycle where they need experience to get a job and need a job to get experience – leaving them stuck while the world of work drifts further out of reach. That isn’t right.\n\n“Opportunities like these can make all the difference, helping young people gain the confidence, skills and connections they need to get started in work.”","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
