We started with a little presentation on the 5 steps we took to making our young people employable. This step by step system was news to the participants as well as the guests.
Step 1 - Get them to bond and unite
Step 2 - Build their CVs and interview skills
Step 3 - Turn them into professionals
Step 4 - Crank up the competition
Step 5 - Send them out into the big, wide world
It was a funny but emotional day for them, looking back on photos and videos of the journey they had all taken.
Afterwards, we presented them with their Youth Into Jobs t-shirts to remember it forevermore.
Helal Ahmed commented on how the enthusiasm from the participants was "second to none", which was great to hear coming from someone who oversees youth projects across the whole of Tower Hamlets.
Congratulations and best of luck for the future for Youth Into Jobs graduating class of 2012!
