Taupo Pathways

Taupo Pathways We provide young people with the support and skills they need to find and keep work in our community.

The programmes that we run are:
LICENCE TO WORK is an innovative approach that builds young people’s employability skills so they can gain and retain meaningful work. APPRENTICE CONNECT: Free workshops held to support Workplace Trainees and Apprentice to complete their paperwork, make connections and find motivation. PATHWAYS CONNECT helps partner secondary skills with employers via workplace vis

its. TAUPŌ DISTRICT CAREERS ROADSHOW: Biennial event held to showcase the various tertiary and employment options available. Our mission: That all young people under 25 in the Taupo District are engaged in appropriate education, training, work or positive activities leading to meaningful employment. There appears to be a major disconnect between the number of young people leaving school with few employment prospects, and local businesses that are sourcing staff from outside the district
It is important that young people have a plan and direction for their future that links to the workforce requirements of local businesses. The group is a partnership between representatives for employers, youth services, schools, Iwi and training providers to help connect and support young people with the transition into employment, education and training so they can reach their full potential.
