The Course

What you’ll learn about

You’ll learn about things like timekeeping, personal organisation, managing your mental wellbeing, where to seek help with difficult situations, teamwork, commitment, and other things that are going to assist you to achieve and sustain full-time mahi.

During the first week we complete an induction process which covers things like our programme values, workplace health and safety requirements specific to our site and the tools you will use on site.

During the course you will also receive informative presentations around subjects such as:

  • Suicide awareness
  • Healthy relationships
  • Addiction
  • Budgeting
  • Road safety
  • Injury prevention
