We've launched a significant employment programme to support career opportunities for young people and tackle youth unemployment across the UK. Young people face higher unemployment levels in the UK, with a youth unemployment rate of 11.4% compared to an unemployment rate of 4.0% for the whole population*. With our scale and reach, we have a significant opportunity to improve the representation of young people in our workforce. We've already started to lay the foundations to improve the attraction and retention of young people by: • Significantly increasing the number of employees under the age of 30 in frontline roles. • Transforming the recruitment process to make it more relevant and accessible for young people from all backgrounds • Recruiting early career talent. Over the last twelve months, we've recruited over 200 postal and graduate apprentices. This is creating new career routes for young people and providing investment to further their education whilst starting professional careers. We'll also be working with This is Purpose to launch a social mobility plan aimed at supporting talent from lower socio-economic groups, inside and outside the business. This will include supporting employability skills and creating further access to career opportunities through work experience and apprenticeship opportunities.
