Industry Highlights
SpeedMeet 2021 - Te Tai Tokerau
Brought to you by MITO and E2E Te Tai Tokerau, SppedMeet 2021.

SpeedMeet brings together students and employers from various industries 'speed-dating style' via short six-minute mini-interviews. If both employer and student note that they are interested, a match is made, and we pass the student's contact details on to the prospective employer.
 
The events allow students to have valuable discussions with prospective employers, learn more about a whole range of industries, and are a great way to practice interview skills.
 
The Ministry of Education funds the 2021 SpeedMeets, which take place over August and September in 12 locations.
 
Both school students and employers can register for these events. If you are part of a company that wants to connect with youth and promote student pathways into your industry, this is a fantastic way to achieve this and reach many motivated students in a short timeframe!
