BizE and BizInnovate learners are having a ball here at Youthnow doing real work for the organisation and building up their employability skills. Best of all they are forming friendships with peers in the same situation. It's so nice to hear from our learners that they are finally getting attention (from employers) with their resumes & cover letters, since they joined our program. One learner excitedly told us yesterday; "I was also called today and offered an interview with xxxxxxxx on Thursday - 3rd interview this week! This whole year, besides the 3 interviews this week, I've had 4 interviews. So thank you so much all the support and feedback!!!! It has made such a big difference!!!!!" (Sept. 2016 BizE leaner).
