Purposeful work and learning opportunities

What does this mean?

We understand that people can derive pride and purpose from a variety of work and learning opportunities.  We want to ensure that all opportunities in the Opotiki District provide pathways to personal growth, as well as to financial independence.

What do we want to see?

• People deriving pride and purpose from a variety of work and learning opportunities
• Programmes that tackle unemployment as an option available in the district
• Businesses and agencies caring about people and their needs
• Stable year-round employment available
• Skills-based learning opportunities appropriate to the district
• Innovation and endeavour being supported by the government and the community
• People in difficulty being encouraged and supported.

How will we achieve this?

We will be involved in the development of employment programmes and promote the development of career pathways within the private sector.
