“Welcoming Shani and Ben into the team has been a seamless experience. Both very quickly became part of the Hilton family and are thriving in their roles.
“It was amazing to offer Shani a permanent role once her placement had ended. She continues to grow and develop in confidence and skill set. Ben has only been with us for 2 weeks and we are excited to see Ben flourish in his role.”

“Partnering with Project Employ has been such a rewarding experience for us at Street Organics. Ashley and Caleb both bring positivity, enthusiasm and commitment to their roles, and it’s been amazing to watch their confidence and skills grow. It's also great to see the awareness and understanding of neurodivergence grow within our existing team, which they may not otherwise have been exposed to.
“We’re incredibly proud to support Project Employ and be part of creating meaningful employment opportunities for young people. I can’t recommend it highly enough to other employers, not only for the opportunities it creates for Project Employ graduates, but also for the positive impact it has on your own team and workplace culture.”
