Thornton's Mitre 10 in WA has a strong reputation in their community for assisting young high school leavers entering the workforce with experience and developing their confidence. Each year Thornton's Mitre 10 sends out an EOI seeking a junior member to join their friendly team. This not only assists with practical work experience in all aspects of retail but also equips those young members of their community with essential skills for future careers. Maddi will complete her gap year soon and she now has a forklift ticket and extensive experience in customer service, POS software and merchandising. With Maddi moving on shortly, that has opened the door for Xabi. He was a junior staff member working on weekends and in the school holidays. Xabi has been eager to take on more responsibility and is excited to start his gap year. Thornton's takes pride in developing career skills with these young adults, watching them grow into successful individuals. Past gap year employees have also continued on to achieve remarkable success in their careers, thanks to the foundational skills acquired at Thornton's Mitre 10.
