SAINSBURY’S has launched a Supplier Trainee Partnership which aims to help 100 unemployed people into work.
The Partnerships will be operated in conjunction with 60 of Sainsbury’s top construction, engineering, facilities management and retail suppliers and will provide real training opportunities for people in trades that, due to the economic downturn, have suffered a shortage of labour and investment.
Successful applicants will receive a 12 month paid contract to work for one of the 60 suppliers on a variety of Sainsbury’s projects including developing new stores and redeveloping existing sites. Candidates will enjoy constant support from Sainsbury’s and the suppliers whilst regular assessments will ensure that all the participants make real progress. The trainee will receive hands on experience and be exposed to a range of new skills.
The programme, starting in July, is open to all unemployed people and to find out more email your details to: trainee.programme@sainsburys.co.uk.
