About
Smart Waikato is a charitable trust formed in 2009 with the purpose to empower youth and employers through real education to employment pathways. We do this by partnering with iwi, business, education and government agencies to deliver a range of practical, effective and innovative initiatives that better support young people transitioning from education to employment.
Smart Waikato Trust is best known for Smart Transitions, Secondary School Employer Partnerships (SSEP), endorseMe® Employability Record, and co-ordination of the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme in the region.
Smart Waikato is also a strategic partner in FutureForce® Waikato, a ground-breaking careers resource designed to give young people the best advice about sustainable careers in the region in a youth-friendly format.
