MWLP - Linking youth to business, careers & opportunity

Many small business owners have no time, so if they want access to young people, MWLP manages and streamlines everything. We don’t interview, so this program is very effective. Actions speak louder than words so when the students turn up we look for a combination of personality, initiative, stamina and cultural fit. We have hired quite a few students as casuals and really recommend this program.

We need to take these students on and teach them values and standards. Teach them to turn up on time, stretch themselves and become the best they can be. We want to employ as many as we can and give them a proper introduction into the industry because we believe we are the best at what we do. I believe business should look ahead 10 years and assess where they want to be – as it all starts with apprentices. It’s a win/win situation.

Kids are our future. We get to know them and tailor the work to suit. We like to keep them both entertained and challenged. We encourage them to ask questions. Last week we had an outstanding student who rebuilt two computers, formatted them and had them up and running. Do it for the students. The right kids undertaking the right tasks become an asset to the business. It’s also a great way to interview.
