    Today, Emma Pankhurst, Chief People Officer at Merlin Entertainments, and I were pleased to join the Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Secretary of State (Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)) at 10 Downing Street - alongside fellow hospitality and leisure businesses, as well as UKHospitality and the Tourism Alliance - to discuss how we can help more young people into work. But the real highlight came afterwards, when the Minister – Pat McFadden MP – met some of our brilliant young team members inside SEA LIFE London Aquarium and on the London Eye: ★ Elliot and Harriet, who are developing specialist skills as aquarists at SEA LIFE London Aquarium. ★ Immie and George, whose summer jobs at Alton Towers have grown into long-term careers with Merlin. ★ Jess and Jack, who help bring unforgettable stories to life at the London Dungeon. ★ Sarah, Holly and Rachel, who create memorable experiences for millions of guests on the London Eye. Each of them spoke with real passion about what they do – and the opportunities they’ve been given to learn, grow and progress. Their stories are exactly why this matters. At Merlin, we've long believed in the power of those first opportunities to build confidence, develop skills and start a career. That's why we're proud to support the Government's Youth Guarantee by committing to create 300 roles for young people over the next three years. As we deliver on that commitment, we'll work closely with our partners and suppliers to open up even more pathways into employment across our attractions, helping more young people take their first step into the world of work. As I've said before, backing sectors like ours - which create jobs at scale and offer real opportunities for people to build rewarding careers - is key to making this ambition a reality. Today is a welcome step forward, and we're ready to play our part. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eUj4iaTc
