Education to Employment Brokerage Service Team Updates
|
|
Naumai, haere mai, whakatau mai!
We can hardly believe it! Tai Tokerau Trades Training on the 1 April 2021 celebrated our first year of operation!
Reflecting over the year, Tai Tokerau Trades Training has achieved so much in such a short amount of time, with our very first day of operation being the same first day of a nationwide pandemic lockdown. The small team of four worked remotely in preparation to deliver the Education to Employment Brokerage Service (EEB) through a time of uncertainty.
Once New Zealand transitioned into Level 2, the team set up the new office space and started developing school and industry relationships. From humble beginnings of working from home, the team expanded as Tai Tokerau Trades Training became the proud contract holders of the Whakaahu Whakamua Work Ready Programme.
|
|
Fast forward to now. Tai Tokerau Trades Training employs a team of 16 amazing kaimahi who work tirelessly to support our community with opportunities and experiences that assist in an effective transition to employment opportunities all over Te Tai Tokerau. |
|
This month we bid farewell to our Project Administrator, Jayme Hawea, who starts her new role at ISO Limited.
Jayme has been an asset to the team. She brought with her high energy and determination in supporting the many roles and functions of the organisation. Inspired by the mahi we do, Jayme wanted to explore, develop and pursue her career pathway. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours, and you are always part of our mahi whanau.

We hope you all enjoy the school holidays with the colder months approaching. We look forward to supporting your schools further with the return of Term 2.
Tai Tokerau Trades Training will be operating through the term break. Feel free to contact the team for support with school and industry engagement.

2021 Youth in Health and Wellbeing Careers Events |
|
Join us and explore careers in health and wellbeing!
With support from the Ministry of Education, Careerforce the Industry Training Organisation for the health and wellbeing sectors are running career exploration events for high school students. The health and wellbeing sector needs more young people in the workforce to combat the existing workforce shortages.
The health and wellbeing sectors offer many exciting and rewarding career opportunities for young people, who want to make both a career and a difference.
These sectors cover the likes of healthcare, social and community services, mental health, disability support, aged care, and youth work. Common across all the sectors is the increasingly challenging workforce shortages, and the need to attract younger people into their workforces.
We welcome high school students interested in:
- Pursuing a career within health and wellbeing, and earning as they’re learning.
- Helping people recover from illness or injury to living independent lives.
- Caring for the aged and vulnerable in the community.
- Providing quality service and patient care.
- Working with other young people to reach their full potential.
Join us at 2021 Youth in Health and Wellbeing Careers Events in Northland
Whangarei | Tikipunga High School | 11 May 2021
Far North | Taipa Area School | 13 May 2021
We’ll bring together students and employers. We’ll invite inspiring speakers who have made a career in these sectors. We have planned interactive workshops, activities and allowed time for employers and students to interact.
