Another great week for the team currently completing the Building Futures programme. Well done everyone for ascending Te Mata Peak again this morning, good effort 👍
There are two faces missing from the pic. Why, because they’re organising themselves to start their new jobs on Monday. Congratulations Stylee and Kash, well done on achieving roles with a great employer and with opportunity to grow. We’ll update with pics next week. …
Elections are coming up fast! This coming Saturday 7th November is the final day to get votes in.
Some of our rangatahi asked to be taken to a polling booth to vote. So everyone hopped on board and headed to Camberley Community Centre to get the job done. Well done to those young people taking this decision seriously and wanting to ensure their opinion counts.
We also had a couple who had wanted to vote but hadn’t registered in time. They’re now ready to go for next time. …
After a bit of a run-around we’re into our projects. It’s always good to get into some practical skill building.
Safety is our number one priority. Before the tools are available for use, there are a number of SOP’s and practical assessment required to ensure understanding and safe operation.
The weather is making it easier to get outside for our weekly beep test. Today was our first one for this group. We record the levels each week as a simple measure of fitness improvement with the first week providing a baseline to grow from.
This afternoon, Helen from road_safe_hawkes_bay spent time with us talking about how we can keep ourselves, our whanau, and our friends safe on the road. Driving while drunk, driving while on drugs, driving while distracted are all a hard NO for us! …
Forklift driving is a skill that is desirable in a range of industries. So having a base-level skill can be a bonus when you’re looking for work. Our latest group have now completed their OSH Forklift Operator certificates. Now they can practice using our on-site machines.
We are also fortunate to have a forklift simulator. Once you’re inside, this VR operated equipment looks and feels like the real deal. Our participants also have the opportunity to utilise this to help improve their operator skills.
Well done everyone, today you ticked off not just a training opportunity, but you ticked off an achievement and something to be proud of. …
Friday is Te Mata Peak day for us at Building Futures. This week the team also completed their life sculptures. As you can see, there were some very cool visions. Well done everyone 👏 …
We are so proud and equally appreciative to be supported by Hawke’s Bay Foundation. Thank you for your belief in our kaupapa and your support in helping us to deliver our programme to the rangatahi of Hawkes Bay. …
