At 17, I was pushing trollies and working checkouts at Waitrose. At 18, I was managing the customer service desk on evenings and weekends.
That part-time job shaped my entire career. It taught me the value of hard work, how businesses operate, and how to manage a salary.
It’s worrying how difficult it is for young adults to land these types of jobs today.
How can we better support young people getting into the workforce?
