A DESIGN company in Maldon is offering students across the South of Essex the opportunity to join their workplace to support the skills of young people.

World Youth Skills Day took place on July 15, an event that raises awareness of the importance of the younger generation’s education and Verriberri will be supporting the cause over August and September.

Launched in 2009, Verriberri is a Marketing, PR and Design company based in Maldon, Essex. Covering the entire UK and abroad, the business has continually grown in the marketing industry, gaining recognition and client retention throughout the years.

A spokesman for the company said: “The younger generation is constantly exposed to lower quality jobs, working inequalities and underpaid wages. WYSD aim to generate greater awareness of the matter, reminding people how important it is to invest in youth skills development.

“Verriberri will invite a handful of students to their Maldon offices in support of the cause. Each student will join the workplace for a week and get the opportunity to learn about a topic of their choice.

“The students can focus on a particular area they want to improve on and the team will cater to them by creating them a weekly plan.”

The business is hoping to give teens the opportunity to gain work experience and a head start in the working industry.

Verriberri is looking for students now. Call 01376 386850 for information.
