Workforce Development > New Activity Led Training (ALT) Programme

WHAT IS IT?

This exciting new activity led training programme is training with a DIFFERENCE. If you find it challenging studying within a classroom environment then this programme is for you!! Learning through a wide range of activities you will gain skills and a qualification while enjoying yourself and learning outside of a normal classroom environment using our communities, whenua (land) and moana (sea) as our classroom. This course is ideal for you if you want to have fun, learn new skills, and make new friends while you study!!

WHERE WILL IT TAKE ME?

Te Hauhake i te Mana creates an environment to guide rangatahi (youth) and adults through activities and experiences to evolve and nurture the Mana that is inherent within us all.

Te Hauhake i te Mana will improve your self-esteem and confidence (whakamana) and help you to discover a pathway in life, whether that be work, study or connecting to serve (manaakitanga) your whānau, marae or community.

Learners often venture outside of a normal classroom environment to connect with our communities and in doing so strengthen and harness their ability to communicate, participate and succeed (whakawhanaungatanga).

DID YOU KNOW?

As part of this course, students are involved in a variety of projects, which could include working and helping with community projects, and other outdoor activities.

Kaylah is studying as part of the Youth Guarantee programme in Hawke’s Bay. She enjoys her time on the course and feels a great sense of achievement from what she has learned so far. When she started at Workforce Development, she had no credits or qualifications. Kaylah has now almost completed all her credits to pass Level 1 and 2. Recently she had success catching a large fish, which the class cooked up for lunch and has successfully gained a part time work position at a local second hand store. Interview skills, letter writing and writing a CV are all skills she has gained during her study. She finds the tutors to be really friendly and supportive and recommends Workforce Development for other young people wanting to get ahead.
