Episode Details

John Lewis is doubling down on its mission to empower care-experienced young people, pledging 1,000 new jobs by 2030 — more than tripling its original commitment — to tackle the UK’s worst youth unemployment crisis in a decade. Through its Building Happier Futures program, which has already helped 450 young people land roles, the employee-owned giant is offering training, job-shadowing, and permanent or temporary positions across all its brands. Developed with real-life care-leaver input, the initiative reflects John Lewis’s belief in social responsibility and long-term career pathways. Plus, they’re joining the government’s Jobs Guarantee, launching 30 paid positions at Waitrose with full support to turn temporary roles into lasting careers.
