Spring is finally here, and businesses in the industrial sector
have started to turn, or will soon be turning, their attention to
their student hiring processes.
For many students, the jobs they get this summer will be their
first introduction to the workforce. As a result, they tend to make
up a particularly vulnerable group that needs to be trained and
supervised in a meaningful way. If a business forgets this, the
Ministry of Labour (MOL) will undoubtedly remind
them when it starts running its new and young worker blitz from May
1 to August 30, 2019.
Importantly, this blitz has been conducted annually for at least
the past three years, and there are lessons that businesses can
learn from the results. We have therefore set out below a summary
of some of the key takeaways from these past blitzes, as well as
some pointers on how businesses can prepare for this year's
upcoming blitz.
