With the Youth Employment Success programme turning 6 and with last years celebration being held via Zoom we thought what a better way to recognise achievements than to gather our employers in a room and celebrate their involvement in the programme. We had 3 very special speakers, firstly Deputy Mayor of Dunedin, Christine Garey then Mitchel & Ben from Talent Network
