Congratulations to our Graduates
We celebrated the graduation of 40 more YOUth INSPIRE students at the Walter Nash Centre last week. Students received their The Youth Employability Programme certificates and awards from YOUth INSPIRE Kaitiaki, Lower Hutt Mayor Ray Wallace.
A highlight of the evening was a panel session with graduates, Cheyenne Sam, Angel Dougherty and Cheyenne Hunia. The stories of overcoming obstacles to achieve success in their personal and professional lives was an inspiring and humbling experience.
YOUth INSPIRE Manager, Alison Black, is proud of the student’s success. “Many of our Rangatahi come from complex backgrounds and face really difficult challenges in life,” she says. “To see them succeed and to see the support they receive from their whanau and our business partners, we know that our Youth Employability Programme works. We hope more businesses will support our young people by offering them valuable work experience.”
