THERE IS A GREAT TRAINING / RETRAINING OPPORTUNITY COMING TO CHRISTCHURCH IN 2022!
Hi, my name is Michael Johnson and I work for a company called Skills4Work Ltd, which is based in Auckland.
Skills4Work is a training provider specialising in vocational education that operates throughout New Zealand. We are pleased to announce that from February 2022 we will be delivering a Trade Bakery (Craft) Level 4 programme in Christchurch.
This training is fully funded and consists of a three-month block course to get the students work-ready, and then we place them into a work placement for a further 12 months. Yes, that’s right WE source and place trainees into their work placement.
During this 12-month work placement, I be with them every step of the way to navigate them through getting their industry-recognised qualification. This “earn while you learn” model is ideal for both trainees and employers.
This programme is completely different from the generalist qualification that is offered by Tertiary establishments such as a polytechnic or a PTE, as this is a craft qualification, so it is more sought after by the industry. The Skills4Work training model and qualification is supported by Foodstuffs in bringing this qualification to the community in the greater Christchurch region.
Skills4Work currently train over 200 Foodstuffs bakery apprentices throughout the country, however, there is still a long-term skill shortage. So, I would love the opportunity to talk to anyone who is keen on hands on learning and who has an interest in Craft Baking about this course. The industry offers many opportunities once qualified. eg: cruise ships, Scott Base, international hotels, supermarkets or even owning their own business.
I realise that it is late in the year to be contacting you however the Covid-19 lockdown has delayed implementation of this programme. If you know of anyone that would benefit from this course, please touch base with me so that I can forward an electronic or a hard copy of our information brochure to you. I would love the opportunity to visit you to talk to either yourself or the person directly to answer any questions that you/they might have.
If you have any questions about the enrolment process, please contact the Auckland office on 0800 275 455 or at customerservices@skills4work.org.nz

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
