Ministry of Social Development’s Regional Commissioner for Marlborough, Nelson and the West Coast Craig Churchill says Motueka’s Hiring Day will match job seekers with eager employers.
Hiring Day
Hiring Day is returning to Motueka this month when employers will interview job seekers in a “speed date” style format. The event, hosted by Work and Income in Motueka, will have seasonal jobs on offer across a variety of local industries, as well as longer-term opportunities. Ministry of Social Development Regional Commissioner Craig Churchill said anyone wanting to explore work and training opportunities in the region was welcome to attend. “Local employers are eager to meet job seekers,” he said. “There’s also lot of support available to people through our work schemes and training options. We can refer people on for help with tidying up their CV or getting their driver licence as well, if they’re eligible.” Motueka was the first Work and Income site to host a speed Hiring Day in 2021 when 88 attendees were offered jobs. The event’s success has since sparked similar events across the country. Hiring Day is from 9.30am to 1pm on February 15 at Work and Income, 236 High Street, Motueka.
