Amazon's thirty thousand job pledge
Amazon announced on twenty October it will create thirty thousand entry-level jobs in the UK by twenty thirty for young people aged eighteen to twenty four from areas with fewest opportunities.
No CV needed, fifteen pounds ten an hour
The roles start at fifteen pounds ten an hour, more than thirty one thousand pounds a year pro rata, and require no CV or work experience.
“When I visit our sites, I meet young people who had no idea where to start six months ago. They didn't have a CV. They didn't have experience.”
Support beyond the warehouse jobs
Amazon will offer more than ten thousand work experience places by twenty thirty, raising yearly numbers from about nine hundred this year to more than three thousand.
Youth unemployment at decade high
Around a million young people in the UK are not in education, employment or training, the highest rate in a decade.
“The first rung has thinned, and too many young people can't get a foot in the door.”
What it means
Amazon pledged thirty thousand entry-level UK jobs by twenty thirty for young people aged eighteen to twenty four, starting at fifteen pounds ten an hour with no CV required.
