The first Military Style Bootcamp has wrapped up and the ten young people are now transitioning back into the community.

The youth spent 3 months in the programme and will now head into the 9-month community stage, which Minister for Children Karen Chhour says will look different for each young person.

Chhour tells Heather du Plessis-Allan each person has a detailed plan and will work extensively with their mentor, social workers and whanau.

During the programme, the youth were set up with items like a photo ID, bank account and CV to aid in being able to find work.
