Earn as you learn - ‘Work-based learning’ means you can work in the real world and save money while studying.

Mana and pride - There’s real pride in seeing what you’ve built with your own two hands, and a kinship you’ll get in working with others. Community, craftsmanship and comradery.

Work life balance - An apprenticeship gives you work-life balance. You’ll have time for whānau, friends and the things you love, as you’ll have a full-time job while studying.
