      Feels like there is a lack of entry level opportunities- even for people who have gone to uni and college

            Volunteer Rooms - 12/02/26 Peoples lack of motivation. People are better off not working. Having skills workshops could work

                  Volunteer Rooms - 12/02/26 - Most employability support is targeted to parents. This is due to funding. If someone isn't a parent they struggle to access employability.
