Step into your Future
The programme is designed to bring together jobseekers, keep them motivated and encouraged, and help them develop peer support networks.
We can offer job preparation workshops for former refugees and migrants designed to help them get familiarised with NZ employment. The programme consists of four half-day sessions incorporating writing a professional CV and cover letter, job interviews, workplace communication, NZ working style and Kiwi culture.
We are currently developing additional services that offer longer-term support where we can work alongside you to develop a career plan, identify the resources you need to activate that plan (such as skills you have or need and networks to build) and identify strategies to maintain motivation and persistence – working alongside you on your employment and career journey.

“There were so many things I needed to work on when I started the course, [which] I have now started to use in my workplace. I am more confident I have a clearer idea about what I want to do next. Time commitment was a big thing, having kids and working in the community.
[Another participant/a jobseeker] and I had different opinions. She felt that the way it [the course] was presented was more directed at people at in the workplace. I said to her ‘[When I was] a jobseeker, I wish I had this knowledge before I got into the workplace’.”
