Work Fit - free Job Seeking Course

Paul McGregor from Adult Learning Support

Howdy folks, Paul from Adult Learning Support here.

Do you need help to find a job? We're running a course called Work Fit that might be just what you need.

This free 10 week course will give you the skills you need to get a job. You’ll identify your skills. Write a cover letter and CV. Apply for jobs online. Practise interviews. All with a supportive group of coursemates at your back.

It’s for you if:
• you're just coming out of school and don’t know what skills you have
• you’ve had enough of working a hard physical job
• you’re coming back to work after being a full-time mum.

It starts on 31 July, and runs 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) from 10am to 2pm.

The classes are small, which mean you get the support you need to make real progress.

If this sounds like you, get in touch with Elise!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
