PARTICIPANTS WANTED (food, petrol or book vouchers as compensation)
Participants wanted: 'New careers and their prospects: navigating the future of work'
My name is Nicolette Trueman and I am a Massey University Master’s research student. I am now recruiting participants for a study focusing on young people’s current experiences of employment. You will be reimbursed for your involvement with a $25 petrol, grocery or book voucher. I am looking for individuals of all ethnic, gender and cultural backgrounds. The ideal candidate should have no more than 2-3 years’ work experience in the labour market and will be:
1. Living in Auckland
2. 18-28 years of age
3. Employed on either a full time, casual, self-employed or fixed term contract.
4. Working 30+ hours per week
The study consists of one focus group and one group based workshop. This project aims to reflect on the working experiences of young people in the early stages of their career and stimulate discussions of their desires, anticipations and expectations in relation to the future of work. The research will involve you coming into the Massey University Albany Campus for one weekday evening focus group (1-1.5 hours) and one Saturday morning workshop (2.5-3 hours).
If you are interested or feel that you might like to engage in conversations about the future of work, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I am happy to provide more information and details. My contact email is n.trueman.work@gmail.com
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
