Several members, former members and, joining us for the 1st time, William Redpath IPP Junior Chamber were delighted to participate in YouthAction’s latest Youth Empowered Skills Day held on Tuesday 19 November which built up the confidence, life and business skills of young people currently not in work.
It was a hugely successful day and YouthAction NI's Training Team Leader Claire Conlon thanking all notes:“It is truly remarkable the impact that it had on the young people. Many thanks to you all - the feedback reminds us of how important our work together is and that we are making a real difference to young people’s lives - even from just one day!”Gallery
