GET YOUTH WORKING CAN HELP!
"My time with Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism provided me with valuable skills which I will be able to apply in my professional career. Not only did I learn about the Kootenay region and the role of tourism to the area, I learned valuable marketing and PR skills which look great on my CV. I also had the opportunity to work with some fantastic people and meet new faces in the area. The Get Youth Working Program gets two thumbs up from me."
