About
Founded in 2018 as Kāpiti Youth Employment Strategy Group now known as Work Ready Kāpiti (WRK) the charity previously operated as an informal group and was established as a joint initiative of the Kāpiti Chamber of Commerce and the Kāpiti Coast District Council.
The group brings together a range of experience and expertise to build enduring relationships between our youth and Kāpiti employers.
We believe Kāpiti will benefit both socially and economically by young job seekers being work-ready and bringing fresh perspectives to our local businesses. We also see this as an opportunity for our local businesses to give these young people a strong foundation for the rest of their working lives.
