Mark Gillard: NZ Careers Expo director on job opportunities declining for young Kiwis
Published 11 months ago
Description
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."
