WE MAKE WHAT MATTERS BETTER, TOGETHER
Our commitment to creating opportunities for young people
We will help young people gain the skills they need to succeed
At Tesco
In our communities
Out of work
Wherever we operate we
offer industry leading entry
programmes, and will
provide every young person
who works for us with
personalised leadership
training, as well as putting
the voice of young people
at the heart of Tesco
through our Young People’s
Panels.
We will open up our
training to all young
people through the Tesco
Youth Academy. Working
with schools and
mobilising our colleagues
we will help young people
develop key skills that will
prepare them for work, no
matter what career they
want to pursue.
We will provide targeted
support, including training,
meaningful work
experience and jobs for
young people who are
trapped in long term
unemployment: breaking
the cycle of no experience
- no job, no job – no
experience.

Launch outcomes
“We welcome this new programme and Tesco’s commitment to supporting young people
into work. Many of our members have experienced challenges getting into the job
market and we know that young people find it particularly hard to break the cycle of 'no
experience - no job, no job - no experience'. The training and opportunities to learn on
the job that this programme offers will be valuable in giving young people the skills and
experience to succeed in the retail industry.” John Hannett, General Secretary, USDAW
