| MR.
BUTLER: |
Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, May 10, Mariner Resources
Opportunities Network and their partners sponsored Youth
Works 2008. The event was held at Ascension Collegiate,
Bay Roberts, with participants from Carbonear
Collegiate, Carbonear, Baccalieu Collegiate, Old
Perlican, and Crescent Collegiate in Blaketown.
Youth Works 2008 was available to youth between the
ages of fifteen and eighteen – high school youth –
and community youth between the ages of eighteen and
thirty.
The project involves assisting participants in facing
multiple barriers to employment and obtaining the
necessary labour market information to make successful
career decisions in order to connect to the workforce.
Mr. Speaker, both displays by local, regional and
provincial employers provided a venue to promote their
organizations and business and give information on
current and future employment opportunities right here
in Newfoundland and Labrador.
I ask all hon. members to join me in congratulating
MRON on a very successful event.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
