Dear Editor – Last week the Youth @Work organisation elaborated on the process of its Y@W internship programmes.
The organization’s presentation before an invited audience of local employers gave an overview of the successful and vitally important work that has been done in the educational practices aimed at developing work skills and preparing young people to be confident individuals.
What is clearly needed, however, is for robust participation by employers to offer youths work opportunities by providing positive internship partnerships.
One Y@W graduate has been successfully employed by BSP Banking Group but far more employers need to make similar opportunities available to other worthy Y@W graduates.
Congratulations to Y@W for the vitally important work it does as an organisation.
Yours sincerely,
Frank Short,
Bangkok, Thailand
