The CHANGE Campaign focuses on helping young people with their skills and employability by increasing their job prospects, commercial awareness, opportunity to discover career paths. Our goal is to equip young people with experience, insight, tools, and advice to succeed as tomorrow's workforce.

As we kickstart our mission at this launch seminar, join us for a conversation to discuss the role of corporate and local businesses in transforming and helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds by providing them with appropriate training and employment opportunities.
