Tawa Community Christmas Parade

Communications from Tawa Lions Club

Thank you, everyone, from the greater Tawa Community who made this year's Christmas Parade another outstanding success. The weather played its part and the participant entries were another great collection of individuals and community groups who made the effort to celebrate the Christmas season with us. Each year we see the big smiles on the faces of the children who line the Main Road and it makes all the lead-up work and investment very worthwhile. A special thanks to all those who contributed their time to make your Parade another success.

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?
