Head of Resourcing at Sainsbury’s, Mel Worth, joined the information session at the Job Centre Plus today to speak about the opportunities in retail.

The British Retail Consortium and the Department for Work and Pensions committed to working increasingly closely in an effort to get more people, #

This year alone we are creating around 6,000 job opportunities and we work hard to equip people with the skills to develop their careers with us. Our apprenticeship scheme and City & Guilds accredited courses at our network of Food Colleges provides vocational training, including nationally recognised qualifications. Our trainee manager scheme is also very popular with young people who join us after A-levels or GCSEs, as a practical way into a long-term career with us.”
