Growing New Zealand’s future – professional career development
Career development begins with our school students, where their subject choices become the building blocks to creating an educational pathway.
Career FocusNZ is able to provide comprehensive tailored school career guidance programmes, assisting schools with the roll out of their programmes and providing ongoing support.
We are also here to help parents support their children as they consider their post-secondary options: the workforce, apprenticeships, practical courses or higher learning.
Employers’ expectations, tomorrow’s workforce and skills shortage areas should be an integral part of young people’s career pathway development.
