MISSION ENGAGE
The Mission Engage Youth Program is a 14-day training program providing disengaged youth with the necessary skills, training and confidence to address the range of issues they experience. Through tailoring the program with participating businesses, the Mission Engage Youth Program offers an insightful, fulfilling and cost-effective human resource solution aimed at increasing staff retention and loyalty that improves each time the program is run.
The teaching and support provided by the Mission Engage Youth Program extends beyond the practical skills required for employment. The Mission Engage Youth Program explains the discipline, insight and dedication required to work in the real world, whilst providing a strong cultural component.
No other community-led organisation currently nurtures both the businesses in need of filling positions and those that experience long-term unemployment.
