M&S launches new traineeship for 1,000 young people

Article excerpt

Marks & Spencer is opening 1,000 traineeship positions for young people, a move the retailer frames as a response to rising numbers of those outside employment, education, or training. The scheme represents M&S's latest effort to address youth employment challenges in the UK. The traineeships will offer hands-on experience across the company's stores and operations, combining paid work with structured learning. M&S joins other major employers in launching workforce development programs aimed at younger generations facing barriers to career entry.
