Citizens Advice Bureau Porirua - Volunteer Interviewer training

The Team from Citizens Advice Bureau Porirua

Do you want to make a difference in people's lives?
Do you like getting to the "bottom of things"?

Volunteer Interviewer Training commencing soon

We are currently organising our next Volunteer Interviewer Training and are looking in our community for people who are interested in supporting their "neighbours" with accessing information to ensure that they are fully equipped to deal with their everyday lives and challenges.

If you are able to attend six half day training sessions that will review our kaupapa and equip you with the ability to engage with our clients, we would love to mentor you to becoming a qualified CAB Interviewer. Your minimum on-going commitment is one shift per week (generally 2.5 hours) on a day to suit you. You will also be able to participate in monthly training on a wide range of issues.

We have a great team of volunteers currently all of whom bring with them a wide range of skills and experience. Are you able to add your skills to our pool? We would be very interested in speaking with you!

We are required to complete Police Checks on all applicants prior to training.

If you are interested please contact Alison McNab, Manager, Citizens Advice Bureau on 04 237 8846 or email manager.porirua@cab.nz

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
