Skills Update community investment in Mangere
Skills Update has celebrated the opening of its new building in Tidal Road, Mangere. We have been here for 27 years and we love this community. We love working with its diversity and enjoy the strong Māori and Pacific heritage of our students. Skills Update Training Institute has one of the best training facilities in NZ.
"We have undertaken a renewal program in all four of our established locations - Kelston, Papakura, Onehunga, and now Mangere. This is by far the biggest expansion with over 7000 m² of floor space added and the renewal of our existing premises” said Managing Director Farzbod Taefi. “Our building renewal program is a statement of optimism and investment in this community and it reflects our confidence in all of our present and future students.”
Some of the courses offered at Skills Update include: Automotive Engineering, Computer and Technology Skills, Transport and Logistics, Carpentry, Hospitality, Business Administration, Electrical Engineering, Metal Fabrication, Retail, Care for the Elderly, Pre-Forces Training, and Security.
The photo proudly shows our hospitality students catering for the opening celebrations. The hospitality industry is one of the fastest growing industries for job opportunities.
The increase in job advertisements over the past three months has been driven by strong growth in tourism numbers, from both domestic and foreign visitors.
Come and talk to us about how to get started in this dynamic and growing industry.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
