We’re honoured to be part of the Ara Whakamaua programme Tūranga, powered by Work Ready NZ. Facilitated in their new Waipapa space, Tūranga is a youth employment programme to support 15 – 24 year old young adults into employment in Northland. Rangatahi will be provided the opportunity to increase social connectedness, improve self-worth, and obtain the skills to attain sustainable employment, education or training in the path they choose. This kaupapa strongly aligns with what we do at Tucker, and we look forward to providing voyage sailing experience, work experience and a potential foot in the door into employment for local young people.
Last week we were lucky enough to attend the powhiri and official opening of their beautiful space in Waipapa. We love being part of this programme by getting young people on board our waka and youth development programme.
Their next 10-week mentoring programme intake will begin on 5 June 2023. If you’re a 15 – 24 year old, living locally in the mid-north area, and interested to take the next step in life, please contact missy@workready.nz or call 021 986 746 for more information or for an application form.
Partnering with epic people in the North doing amazing things for our rangatahi. Mahi tahi – team work.
