EALING Broadway centre is urging young people to take the first step in a retail career by registering for its free training programme, Bright Lights Starting Out in Retail.

The five-week programme starts on July 9 and will give young people in Ealing access to advice from industry experts, support with interviews and CV writing, as well as a personal mentor.

They will also gain on-the-job experience through work placements at some of Ealing Broadway’s outlets.

Those interested in signing up will need to attend a taster session on July 4, for which they can register on Ealing Broadway’s website.

Those that complete the training will receive formal qualifications, including BTEC Level 1 Retail Knowledge.

Andrew Rollings, centre director at Ealing Broadway, said: “I’d encourage any young person living in Ealing who is looking for employment to sign up to the taster session, so they can kick-start their retail careers.”
