Show Notes
There's immense pressure for young New Zealanders trying to find work as opportunities decline.
Stats NZ data shows 16 percent of Kiwis aged 15-24 are unemployed.
NZ Careers Expo director Mark Gillard says the market conditions show it's a tough market for young workers.
"It's not anybody's fault, the onus is certainly there on employers, on industry organisations to engage with young people. There's been a propensity to step back and let the internet do all the talking, but we know face-to-face engagement with young people is what really inspires them."
