Future’s bright for Porirua rangatahi
Te Rauparaha Arena will be bursting at the seams with college students from across Porirua on 9 May as they explore career opportunities.
The community-led Careers Expo, running from 9.30am to 5.30pm, will be the city’s largest expo in many years. There will be more than 70 stalls showcasing career and education pathways, as well as current vacancies with local employers.
Students from all of Porirua’s colleges will have the opportunity to visit the expo, with the event also open to students in the wider Wellington region, as well as those who have already left school and are still investigating their job opportunities.
There will be tech workshops and speakers from a range of Wellington tech companies.
The expo is a collaborative effort between a group of Porirua workforce partners: Porirua City Council, Ngāti Toa Rangatira, Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Education, Kāinga Ora, Le Fale Jobs and Skills Hub, Partners Porirua, and the colleges.

“I come here every time I come to Hamilton”, the woman told our reporter with a thick South American accent as she bustled out the door with her goodies.
What's your take on the rugby mouthguard debate?
Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan is happy enough with some of his players, including star No 10 Damian McKenzie, not wearing the smart mouthguards introduced for the Super Rugby Pacific season.
McKenzie is in the midst of a 12-day concussion stand-down in the wake of a head knock suffered in last Saturday night’s 56-7 thrashing of the Force in Hamilton, where the issue of the contentious new technology again reared its head.
