In partnership with Te Uru Tāngata Centre for Workplace Inclusion, YEA is thrilled to present the Good Youth Employer Award at the prestigious Diversity Awards NZ™ in May 2026.
Celebrating Employers Who Champion Young Talent
This award shines a spotlight on organisations that go above and beyond to create inclusive, empowering, and genuinely supportive workplaces for young people.
Nominations were invited from employees aged 16 to 30, and we’re delighted to announce the outstanding employers who have been shortlisted for this year’s award:
- PCS Projects, Auckland
- Unity Books, Auckland
- University of Auckland – Schools and Community Engagement Team
- Woolworths Te Rapa, Hamilton
- Workforce Central Dunedin
Great youth employers recognise the value young people bring. They respect their contributions, invest in their development, and ensure their workplaces prioritise health, wellbeing, safety, and inclusion. These organisations empower young employees to thrive, grow, and shape the future of their industries.
The award winner will be announced at the Diversity Awards on 5 May 2026.
