Council scheme gets young people into jobs and apprenticeships

The Mayors Taskforce for Jobs initiative is leading to apprenticeships, qualifications and employment. Driving the scheme is a network of Mayors around the country helping young people from 16-24 to get jobs, skills and training. It is working particularly well in the Hauraki and Thames-Coromandel districts. Hauraki District Mayor Toby Adams says the scheme has resulted in jobs for 150 young people over the past four years. And Miyah Henley is one of those young people, she is an apprentice Reticulation Serviceperson at the Council.
