Cargill Enterprises is the trading arm of the Disabled Citizens Society Otago Inc. They have over 60 people with intellectual disabilities working there. The Cargill Academy focuses on developing their numeracy literacy and digital skills to help them grow in their jobs and the community.

On Monday night Cargill Enterprises celebrated their 6th Graduation for 22 learners that had passed their numeracy, literacy and digital qualifications through Cargill Academy.

Our Otago NPC boys Will Tucker and Cam Millar had the privilege of presenting the certificates to the graduates and had a chance to mix and mingle over a drink and some nibbles after the ceremony.

Thank you to Rae Steel and the staff from Cargill Entrprises for inviting our players to be apart of the special night.

We admire and respect your mission and purpose. Congratulations to all the graduates!
