Trading the office for the farm

Primary ITO

Primary ITO’s Dani Low says over the past year, career changers including bankers, accountants and chefs have joined school leavers and young people looking to make a start in Southland’s dairy industry in the wake of the economic reshuffle from Covid-19.

The Government is covering training fees until 31 December 2022 so there’s never been a better time to invest in yourself and your people.

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?
