MARKS and Spencer is launching a new training scheme for young people trying to get on the career ladder in a bid to tackle the “growing youth unemployment challenge” reports the BBC.

Aimed at 16 to 24-year olds, it will create 1,000 training places in the UK and Ireland over the next 18 months.

M&S said the paid scheme was intended to help tackle the rising number of young people not in employment, education or training, or Neets as they are known.
