What do you think is the best way to help young people into work?
Three years into his apprenticeship, 21-year-old Te Ahurangi King says without support from his local Mayors Taskforce for Jobs he’d be behind in his studies, and probably still using his boss’s tools.
The former Ōtorohanga College student said he always wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a builder. He hasn’t looked back since getting an apprenticeship with DF Building Solutions.

How do you think these two will go in the AB squad?
New Chiefs All Blacks Wallace Sititi and Cortez Ratima were both left in “a state of shock” after their maiden call-ups to the national side on Monday evening.
Unlike those not involved in the Super Rugby Pacific final who had attended a camp last week and were then given a call to confirm their selection, Sititi and Ratima were left to find out their fate at the same time as the rest of the world.
