The Tāmaki Jobs & Skills Hub has been connecting local people with meaningful job opportunities in the community they know and care about. There is real value in having locals represented in these spaces and seeing familiar faces helping shape the future of Tāmaki.
As a proud Tāmaki local, Khyber’s journey is a great example of the impact strong community partnerships can have in creating real opportunities for local people.
Through the Tāmaki Jobs & Skills Hub, Khyber was placed with Signature Construction, gaining valuable hands-on experience and exposure to the industry. Having strong mentorship on site has been a huge contributor to building his confidence and helping him grow within the industry.
Partnerships like these are incredibly important in helping bridge the gap between training and employment. They create meaningful pathways for cadets to develop practical skills, make industry connections and gain experience that can lead to long-term careers.
A special thank you to Gareth and the team at Signature Construction for creating this pathway and partnership. The impact of this work will leave a lasting legacy in Tāmaki - not only through the physical builds themselves, but through the positive influence and opportunities being created for future generations of cadets and local rangatahi.
