NexGen Youth Advisory Collab Day: Empowering Future Leaders through Employer Connections

As part of Mai-Wel’s NexGen Youth Advisory Group, students recently participated in an Employer Connections day aimed at helping them understand what employers look for in new hires. Our Business Development representatives, Tasha and Simone, joined local industry experts like Shayne, Operations Manager at Marathon Tyres, who shared his inspiring journey from entry-level employee to leadership over his 40-year career. Shayne encouraged students with wise words: “Never give up, always keep working towards your goals. No one can stop you but you!”

This event is a key element of our partnership with Atwea, where students are completing a Business Cert III program to develop their leadership, communication, and teamwork skills. Through these experiences, Mai-Wel is proud to support young people in shaping their futures and contributing valuable insights to improve the services we offer.
