Employment and training
We helped to provide training to over 1,600 local people.

The management teams at many of our retail properties worked with retailers and education and training providers to provide retail training to over 1,600 local people. These initiatives are helping to reduce retail skills gaps and improve the perception of retail as a career.
Many of our property managers also organised recruitment events, often in partnership with local authorities, local colleges and employment agencies such as Jobcentre Plus. These events helped more than 1,000 people to find work at our properties, at the same time as helping our retail occupiers to recruit at peak periods such as Christmas.
Next year, we aim to implement community employment and training initiatives at all of our major properties.
