18 Pasifika young adult entrepreneurs graduated last week from the 2021 HATCH 12-week programme at a ceremony in Auckland. The graduates, many of whom work or study full-time and have young children, celebrated alongside their friends and family, and the HATCH coaches and business mentors. PBT Board Member, Ron Viviani, encouraged the graduates to dare greatly, and in the spirit of HATCH, to think big and give it a go. We were honoured to have as guest speaker, the Minister for Social Development and Employment, Hon Carmel Sepuloni, who recognised the graduates efforts, families and friends, and this important milestone is just one in their business journey. Make sure to check out a few video highlights from the night including HATCH graduate Indigo Sagala, Director and Founder of Bindi Chewsdays, who gave a wonderful closing speech. Thank you to everyone who made the night special and congratulations to all the graduates. We look forward to seeing what you achieve next.
