People who find themselves jobless as a result of Covid-19 can flock to Auckland libraries for a helping hand.

They can get practical support with their CVs and cover letters, viewing job websites, discussing skill sets or free online training through Lynda.com

Library staff will also connect Aucklanders with skills development, education and training courses.

Auckland Council library staff are being up-skilled to provide employment and skills advice to their communities using the new Work Navigator service piloted by the Te Manawa community hub in Westgate.

The goal is to help people recover from job losses caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The libraries involved in phase 1 of the region wide Work Navigator rollout are Botany, Central City, Glen Eden, Glenfield, Helensville, Māngere East, Manukau, Mt Albert, Mt Roskill, and Ōtāhuhu.

Auckland mayor Phil Goff said the initiative provides extra support for people who may have lost work because of Covid-19.

"The pandemic and resulting recession has caused businesses to close and jobs to be lost in our region," he said.

"We want to do what we can to help Aucklanders find work or gain skills to improve their employment options, and through this programme our libraries staff are well placed to deliver those services."

Dark Kitchens?

Shamus O'Donnell from No Shock Electrical

Are you kitchen benches looking a little dark?
Some LED strip lighting is a great way to lighting up the area. You can even go colour changing. Integrate with all your smart Apps to turn off on on or even dance to the music.

To see the gauge in action, visit www.watercare.co.nz

If you’re on tank water, when did you last look inside your tank? If you rely on rain to keep your household taps flowing, toilet flushing or stock watered, now’s a good time to check your levels, monitor your usage and look at booking a top-up early. Secure your water future by investing in an additional tank.
