YES, Operation Find My Job a virtual job fair.
Is a fun and inclusive, interactive digital event series connecting rangatahi and their whānau to the world of work enabling them to explore industry-specific pathways to enhance their perspectives on vocational pathways and earn while you learn opportunities.
For event 1 we had an awesome array of employers from all of our regions join us via the Operation Find My Job event hub to talk to our rangatahi and whānau about their respective industries, the opportunities that exist for our young people, employer expectations, interviewing, C.V.'s basically all of the good stuff to kickstart career exploration.
Our event hub is jam-packed with resources including industry show case videos, links to useful career info, employer profiles and opportunities for our rangatahi to engage directly with employers via the YES website.
We also created an awesome virtual goodie bag to help our rangatahi on their employment journey which included downloadable C.V. templates, affirmation cards, whakatauki cards, pepeha templates and a fun planner for organising all of those important work experience/training/interview/apprenticeship opportunities.
The YES team was blown away by 260+ registrations for our first event and our second event also exceeded expectations.
