I have been working in the wider timber processing-building products industry for over 20 years. With a background in operations, human resources and health and safety management roles I have a good overview and understanding of the barriers that can hinder a person’s ability to enter or remain within the industry.
Not everyone has the same opportunities or ability to forge a prosperous future for themselves or their families. The Building Futures programme is a purposeful way for me to contribute to the wellbeing and enduring lifestyles of rangitahi here in the Hawkes Bay community. Helping someone to secure a job within this industry is satisfying and rewarding. Knowing that could have a positive impact on their future, makes it priceless.
I am a wife, mother, and grandmother so I have amassed a wealth of experience in life and many of its stresses. I don’t believe I have all the answers, but I have learned that having listening ears is invaluable and sometimes a hug goes a long way towards making things better.
If you or someone you know might be interested in learning more about our programme, you can call, email, or send in an application to join our next intake.
Hi, my name is Kazz Parker, and I was born and raised in Napier, Hawke’s Bay. After finishing high school, I discovered a passion for cooking and pursuied a diploma in culinary arts at EIT. This qualification gave me the skills to work in restaurants across New Zealand and Australia, honing my abilities in the kitchen.Later, I decided to change career paths and became a qualified carpenter, adding another professional ticket under my belt.
Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors, especially diving, fishing, and hiking. Anything to do with water, no matter how rough the conditions, you’ll usually find me in there enjoying the challenge!
