Equip young people to find a job and succeed at work with this practical and blended employability ‘bootcamp’ for unemployed youth.
What I enjoyed most in the program was how to properly write my CV and how to conduct myself in an interview. This enabled me [to] secure a job at [an outsourcing company].
