Employer Participation
Employment and industry partnerships are essential to this program. They provide young people in the program with exposure to different career paths and help them build their community networks. Employers can get involved by:
- sharing industry knowledge and insights into workplace expectations, through guest speaking or mentoring
- participating in workshops such as interview skills training and mock interviews
- offering opportunities for work tasters, work experience, traineeships, and job opportunities
- providing links and contacts to increase employment prospects for young people.
