Ms Jean McCabe:

That is the reality. It is a generation that will miss out on an opportunity to learn a work ethic, and gain social skills and personal skills. Retail and hospitality play a far bigger role than just doors on a high street. We say it all the time that we are the fabric of society. In fact, we are the training ground for future leaders. If we do not provide them with that opportunity then I would hate to see where we are in a number of years' time.
