Show Notes
Throwing in a CV and cover letter in response to a job ad may not cut it anymore, as young people face high unemployment rates.
Stats NZ data shows jobs filled by 15 to 19-year-olds dropped 10% in the last year – representing over 12 thousand roles.
The overall drop nationally is 1.2%.
Youth Inspire Chief Executive Zainab Ali told Ryan Bridge the tactical approach to training youth has been forced to change.
She says in the past six months she's relied on relationships with business partners for job opportunities.
