Young people, schools, employers and communities can learn about employer engagement events.
Late last year, the Government provided funding to enable events that promote trades and ‘earn while you learn’ pathways for young people. These funds will support:
- kura, state and state-integrated schools, and kāhui ako to run vocationally-focused careers events for year 7-13 students until 30 June 2021
- community partners, employers, industry groups, ITO’s, vocational education providers, and other agencies to develop events that bring together young people, and their whānau with industries until 30 June 2021.
The events will focus on a range of sectors including construction and infrastructure, primary industries, engineering (including automotive), social and community services, tourism, retail and hospitality, and the technology and creative sectors.
Online events
The Ministry of Education has developed a set of resources to assist schools in setting up and running online employer engagements.
The aim for these events is to:
- Expose young people to the world of work through digital connections
- Ensure young people continue to have quality education to employment engagements
- Remove barriers of time, physical distance and isolation
- Keep students engaged in career pathway conversations.
Getting students to think about and prepare for the event is important.
Check out the resources below to help you prepare your students for an online event:
