Introducing Mick Wheeler – Work Ready Kāpiti's new Development Manager! ⭐

💛 Gold Sponsor Spotlight: Pzazz Building Wellington North & Kapiti Coast 💛

We're proud to have Pzazz Building as one of our longest-standing supporters!

Rudy and the Pzazz team have supported us across all three of our core programmes year on year, and continue to play a key role in our Annual Awards and the original design of our trophies.

Last year, Theo's WEX placement with Pzazz resulted in full-time employment, leading straight to the opportunity to take on an apprenticeship this year. It’s just one of the ways this awesome team goes above and beyond to create lasting opportunities for our rangatahi.

Their desire and commitment to supporting youth into work is phenomenal. Thank you Pzazz for all that you do!
