Trent Miller
"I am pleased to partner with the Larita Academy because it presents an opportunity to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organisations that share a common vision to positively transform the lives of young people. Since the global financial crisis, the unemployment disparity between young people (aged 15-24) and other age groups has grown significantly. Today, 20% of young people looking for work have been unemployed for more than a year, doubling the rate from a decade ago. Working together with this collective team, we can work towards driving large-scale change."
