Rejected petition More job opportunities for those aged 16.

More details

Companies cannot discriminate against age. However, large firms such as Accenture, Shell, JP Morgan and various other large firms have found a loop hole which directly does not discriminate against age. These firms do not offer any form of work/experience for those aged 16. Rather all of their experience schemes are aimed at under and post graduates. Now, it is time to end age discrimination once and for all!
