  • CREATING EMPLOYMENT for YOUNG PEOPLE in YOUR COMMUNITY
    CREATING EMPLOYMENT for YOUNG PEOPLE in YOUR COMMUNITY Ideas and solutions from The Mayors Taskforce for Jobs “It is terrific to see such varied projects coming out of the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs. We know that there is a wealth of opportunities for young people in their own communities and these examples show that. Every young person who feels optimistic about their community will add value and wealth to the region. This is a Best Practice guide, which not only tells about the projects but also gives you the key factors for success. I hope it will be widely used and the examples copied, changed and developed in communities throughout the country”. Garry Moore Chair - Mayors Taskforce for Jobs Mayor of Christchurch ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A most sincere thank you to everyone who so willingly shared with us information about their various projects and the ways in which these are helping to foster greater community spirit and a coming together of disparate skills. Such cooperation gives cause for optimism – a hope that collaboration will foster the untapped talent of young people and help towards creating a sustainable employment environment for the future. Also thanks to the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs partners, particularly Work & Income, Community Employment Group and the Employment Catalyst Fund who have assisted with funding for many of the projects. Jan Francis (Executive Officer, Mayors Taskforce for Jobs) 1 Prime Minister Helen Clark and senior Ministers with Mayors at the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of New Zealand and the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs, 2nd October 2002.
