Young people in Porirua are the big winners with hundreds more in full time employment since the inception of the Porirua Youth 2 Work Movement in 2015.

We’re heading into interesting times where there’s soon to be more positions advertised than people to fill them. There’s no-longer a pool of ready-made labour sitting around to be drawn on.

The search is on for Porirua’s top young employees. Nominations are open for the Outstanding Young Employee Award 2018.

A recent celebration of the successful Porirua Youth 2 Work Movement saw three new businesses sign up as partners and several youth ambassadors tell their stories.

Two new Porirua businesses have joined the growing number of organisations committed to giving Porirua young people a head start.
