“National Grid has pioneered an offender training and employment programme which has dramatically reduced the national average of young people re-offending from 74% to less than 7%.
The benefits are obvious. Confidence and jobs for young people and helps meet industry's growing need for skilled and motivated labour. Trained employees allow National Grid to make sure we continue to provide security of energy supply to the UK and innovative ways to tackle climate change. The Young Offender Programme has delivered motivated employees for National Grid and our partner companies. ”
