Great South Southland youth futures adviser Liz Clark, left, and team manager Renata Gill are delighted with the response to the Southland Summer of Work programme. Gore High School student Georgia Ayson has landed a job in the inaugural Southland Summer of Work programme. The online programme was put together by Great South and 20 Southland businesses offering a total of 250 jobs to students in December and January. The two-month period is a busy time for businesses involved in the programme, and they include the retail, agriculture, hospitality and tourism sectors. Owner Jamie McConachie said he would put on practical days to give the students an insight into the job.
