The programme, Get into Retail, is aimed at 16- to 25-year-olds and is run by the Prince’s Trust and the Jersey Youth Service.
Following two-week work placements at the Channel Islands Co-operative Society in October, and having attained qualifications in customer services and food safety standards, the seven young people have joined the staff at Grand Marché in St Helier.
The Jersey Youth Service is the delivery partner for the Prince’s Trust in the Island, offering a variety of personal development and employability programmes for 16- to 25-year-olds and training and the experience in a particular sector, giving participants the experience they need to find jobs.
