00:00We've been working over the summer to construct a partnership with the British

00:04Retail Consortium to create a hundred thousand job opportunities for young

00:11people not in education, employment or training over the next couple of years.

00:15I hugely welcome the BRC's commitment to this. They represent some of the biggest

00:20names in the country in retail. These are fantastic opportunities for young

00:25people to get a first job and also to get career progression in the future.

00:30This is a national cause I believe to create more opportunity and work for

00:36young people. The government will play its part and I'm delighted that with this

00:40partnership we're seeing Britain's fantastic retail sector stepping up and

00:44playing its part too.
