Calling All Employers
Project Employ Graduates have six months’ work experience, developing key employability skills, under their belts .
Some want to remain in hospitality, some don’t; but that’s ok as the skills they have been practising are transferable. Meaning our graduates are ready, willing, and able to excel as your next employee.
Please contact emily@proejctemploy.nz to hear how you could become the next ‘Employer Superstar’ that we are shouting about from the Project Employ and Flourish Cafe rooftops!
