Williams was in Whanganui last week to share his experience in bridging the gap between schools and employers in provincial towns, as part of a jobs expo for high school students. He has a breadth of knowledge on transitioning youth to work, and some of his ideas turn old thinking on its head.

BENGALURU (Reuters) - Indian shares edged higher on Thursday, led by metals and information technology stocks, while the government s capital infusion in some state-run lenders boosted public sector banks.
The blue-chip NSE Nifty 50 index was up 0.2% at 14,713, as of 0537 GMT, while the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex gained 0.3% to 49,665. Today s rise has been largely due to U.S. announcing infrastructure plan. That is likely to kick-start a commodity cycle and also make people hope for strong economic growth, Anand James, chief market strategist at Geojit Financial Services in Kochi said.
U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday outlined a broad plan to re-make the world s biggest economy including spending on roads, railways, broadband, clean energy and semiconductor manufacture.
