Ethan's Career Navigator Community Story✨

The Team from Graeme Dingle Foundation Wellington

At the start of 2020, Ethan signed up for the Career Navigator Community programme through Graeme Dingle Foundation Wellington.

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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
