Ongoing Careers Support:
Tahatū Career Navigator is a new interactive careers website designed to give you and your rangatahi a new way to explore career advice and information.
Take a look at the ‘Interest quiz’, a quick and easy quiz that can help your rangatahi discover their interests and explore future careers that align with them. In less than 10 minutes, students can better understand what they’re interested in and how they can apply that knowledge to the world of work. Based on their top interests, rangatahi get personalised suggestions on work areas and career ideas that you can explore on Tahatū, helping them feel more confident about the journey ahead.
Careers Kiosk: do you want some ideas around possible jobs or training in the future? Students are welcome to come in at break or lunch to explore these using the Careers Kiosk. This is an interactive device where you can sit and navigate the screen to explore different options, watch videos and request information if you choose. Drop into Careers at a break or lunch to have a go!
Support with CVs Are you lacking a CV or need advice on your current one? Come to the Careers area on Fridays and fill in the sign up sheet. Mari, our office administrator will then get in touch with you and provide support.
