After meeting different mentors who had such a variety in careers and experience, he knew going back to laboring wasn’t for him. Ethan wanted to do something different and after spending time on the programme, he realised he liked helping young people in the community.
Ethan became one of the top graduates from his cohort and Graeme Dingle Foundation Wellington took the opportunity to hire him. He now helps other young people involved in the Career Navigator Community programme on their career journeys.
“He is one of the best hiring decisions we have made” Jehan Fitisemanu – General Manager, Graeme Dingle Foundation Wellington.

Speaking at Plimmerton Rotary on 14 June, he explained how different the atmosphere had become since the arrival of Covid, which in his view had preoccupied the Government for much too long. He felt the daily press conferences had been unnecessary and were disruptive to the normal process of Government. They had consumed a large proportion of the Government’s resources during that time.
There was a feeling among many New Zealanders that the Government had spread too much gloom and doom, largely ignoring the positive sides of life.
Mr. Malpass noted that the main story now was runaway inflation, affecting the price of petrol, groceries, and building materials to name a few. The National Party had highlighted the alarming rise in crime as another major issue that it believed was not being adequately addressed by the Government.

I love attention and cuddles and in addition to provide people with lots of love, I enjoy going for walks where I can show everybody how beautiful I actually am. My forever home would be a home where in the beginning someone would be by my side most of the time. Then I can get used to your routine and my new environment. I would benefit from continuing my basic training, which I've started at SPCA. I've done well so far with getting used to new people and new routine, but I need my new owner to continue the training with me, so I can become an even smarter doggo. I can be very shy with new people, particularly tall men or loud strangers. My new home would need to be a home with confident older kids or teenagers. My new owners will need to introduce me to new people slowly, as the world can be scary at times, and I haven't had too many people to trust in my previous life. A home with a confident, patient dog may work well for me. I enjoy playing with other social dogs. Unfortunately I am not suited to a home with cats/small animals."
