The scheme aims to help young people gain the confidence, skills and experience they need to start building their career in the hospitality industry.
Prior to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, there were already 760,000 young people (18-24) not in education or employment in the UK.
Horácio Cal, ice cream brand experience director at Unilever UK & Ireland, commented: “We’ve developed our 'I’m Wall’s programme' with young people at the heart but with our partners and operators in mind too. It’s a win-win, grow ice cream sales whilst helping a young person to build a brighter future.
“The hospitality industry has a huge opportunity to lead the way in helping young people to get the helping hand they need to kickstart their careers, and with the number of young people currently unemployed so high, supporting them has never been more important.”
