Sixteen unemployed young people have been helped to get into work at Luton Airport.
The Prince’s Trust ‘Get into Airports’ programme is in its 3rd year.
The young people took part in a two week training course run by The Prince’s Trust before embarking on work experience in the airport.
They have joined organisations including; retail and catering leaders SSP, TRG and Benugo, car park operator APCOA, specialist firms Ryebridge Construction and OCS, as well as household brands such as Dixons Travel, Enterprise Rent a Car, Hotel Chocolat, Menzies and Pandora.
Previous programmes have seen 70 per cent of young people secure jobs at the airport after completing the programme.
Following the course young people will receive up to six months’ support from The Prince’s Trust to help them further their careers.
The youth charity The Prince’s Trust helps disadvantaged young people to get their lives on track. It supports unemployed 13 to 30 year-olds.
