Youth Inspire
Our programmes help rangatahi aged15- 24 learn skills that will help them get a job and keep a job. We run a series of workshops to teach the skills employers are looking for and those you need to succeed! We then partner with a variety of local businesses from mechanics to cafes for work experience opportunities which give youth the opportunity to put the skills they have learned into practice.

About
Youth Inspire’s employability programmes help Rangatahi learn skills that will help them get a job and keep a job.

We also help with any certificates needed to be successful at work, including the First Aid certificate.
