The Inspirational Women in Food & Drink section of this month's Cuisine Magazine features our very own Sarah Dann H***e!
Thank you Kelli Brett for the support and encouragement you give Sarah and the Project Employ/Flourish Cafe teams. You create a whirlwind of positivity every time you visit.
Cuisine Magazine's promotion of the work we do will hopefully inspire cafe and restaurant owners to consider employing a more diverse workforce when they have roles to fill. The neurodiverse young adults that graduate from our Flourish Cafe-based training programme are hard-working and motivated to gain employment, and we know they'd be an asset to any hospitality business. They just need the chance to prove it!
So if you own/run an Auckland-based hospitality business and are looking for staff, please get in touch. We may just have the employee you've been looking for!
