Builders are hiring – are you ready?
If you are not doing well at school, unhappy in your current job or sitting at home jobless, here’s a tip – the building industry is hiring. The booming housing sector and the ongoing Christchurch rebuild are fueling demand for builders and carpenters, with employers across New Zealand desperate for fresh talent.
Be among those who are taking the carpentry pathway to turn their life around. In fact, it is a measure of the government’s seriousness to dealing with the shortage of builders and carpenters that the carpentry course is FREE for those 16 years and older.
The programme will equip you with the right set of skills sought by the building and construction industry. You will learn about hand tools, power tools, fencing, decking, and health and safety. Training includes a period of valuable work experience and many of these placements become offers of work. Upon completion of the course, students achieve an NZQA accredited National Certificate in Building Construction and Allied Trade Skills — Level 2 and NCEA Level 1 and 2.
