Since 2011, 100% SWEET (100 per cent Students in Whanganui in Education, Employment, or Training) has established itself as the preferred connector for Year 12 and 13 students seeking work experience or employment opportunities.
A community initiative with increasing business support, 100% SWEET is governed by WDETT (Whanganui District Employment Training Trust), a not-for-profit entity made up of local business, education and local government representatives. Adding to its recognised credibility, the Whanganui District Council Mayor has endorsed 100% SWEET under the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs initiative.
