Builders are hiring – are you ready?

Skills Update Training Institute Papakura Campus

If you are not doing well at school, unhappy in your current job or sitting at home jobless, here’s a tip – the building industry is hiring. The booming housing sector and the ongoing Christchurch rebuild are fueling demand for builders and carpenters, with employers across New Zealand desperate for fresh talent.

Be among those who are taking the carpentry pathway to turn their life around. In fact, it is a measure of the government’s seriousness to dealing with the shortage of builders and carpenters that the carpentry course is FREE for those 16 years and older.

The programme will equip you with the right set of skills sought by the building and construction industry. You will learn about hand tools, power tools, fencing, decking, and health and safety. Training includes a period of valuable work experience and many of these placements become offers of work. Upon completion of the course, students achieve an NZQA accredited National Certificate in Building Construction and Allied Trade Skills — Level 2 and NCEA Level 1 and 2.

Skills Update Papakura branch has other courses like:
Welding, Security Level 2 and 3, Fitness and Exercise, Recreation and Sport, Barista and Hospitality, Warehouse Distribution and Fork Lift Operations and Forces Pre Entry. These courses are all aimed at NCEA Level 2, giving people the practical skills and the opportunity for a life-long career.

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?
