Brooke Norton
"With over half of Gen Z working in retail during their early adulthood, the retail industry is completely dependent on young people to drive its future. I am pleased to work with the Larita Academy to support at-risk youth, for this important group to gain experience, skills and support and hopefully open opportunities for them in their work lives."
