Royal Mail has launched Future Delivered, a programme to help tackle youth unemployment across the UK. It is looking to offer work experience placements and make its job application process more accessible to young people. It will also work 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 help to get young people ready for the world of work.
Zareena Brown, chief people officer, Royal Mail said: “The challenges that young people are facing today are more pronounced than they have been in previous generations – with a cost-of-living crisis, high youth unemployment and consequences from the pandemic that we are still feeling today.
“Our geographical reach across every postcode in the UK, combined with our strong and trusted heritage, enable us to reach young people in all parts of the country. Royal Mail is committed to doing all it can to make a positive impact and help more people to kick-start their career. We are excited to recruit a new generation of postal workers who can build their careers with us.”
