The Inglewood Opportunity Hub’s LEAD (Linking Employment, Ability, and Development) team and Lethbridge Opportunity Hub attended the Summit yesterday in Westerner Park, Red Deer!

Day 1 has brought inspiring insights and learnings about how we can better support young Albertans on their employment journey. 🙌
