The year-long programme, delivered with DFN Project SEARCH, will run across 35 Asda stores.

The programme will run from 21st to 25th September and will provide more than 17 hours of workshops, webinars and live demonstrations.

The platform forms part of Staff Skills academy+ and offers CPD-certified courses covering workplace rules and employment law.

The programme supports young people with learning disabilities and/or autism to gain workplace skills and experience.

Its Second Brain course aims to help professionals develop artificial intelligence (AI)-based knowledge management skills.

The apprentices join fully funded training schemes and will work towards professional qualifications while being paid.

Education Secretary Lucy Powell is hosting regional mayors, business leaders, headteachers and college principals.

110 trainees are now working across the business after recruiting a record 45 external apprentices in 2026.

Tiah Glasgow and Dominic Khan are the first two recruits.

The placements will last between two and four weeks and will be available to people aged 18 to 24 who are not in employment, education or training (NEET).

The event focused on networking, career development and adapting to change.

The winners will be revealed at its 14th annual awards ceremony at 60 Great Queen Street in London on 26th November.
