New BBC Three show to help unemployed find work

Seven employers (Argos, Greggs, Hilton Worldwide, Scottish Power, Starbucks, Timpson and Virgin Media) have joined forces with BBC Three to offer paid placements to unemployed people, with a total of 23 paid placements.

The show titled 'Up for Hire' which launches on 20 October, aims to address the challenging issues of getting the unemployed work opportunities. All placements are for three months initially, apart from Virgin Media, which has a one-year apprenticeship on offer.
