Welcome to the Work Ready Kāpiti #EmployerMeets Season for 2022.

What: A series of "speed-meet" styled events where local youth and businesses have the chance to connect and discuss all things...work.

When and Where: We are hosting a series of #EmployerMeets at three of our local colleges and the next one is at:

Ōtaki College: Thursday 15th September, 2022, 5:15pm-7:25pm REGISTRATIONS FOR THIS EVENT HAVE NOW CLOSED. IF YOU WOULD STILL LIKE TO BE INVOLVED PLEASE CONTACT US AT hello@workreadykapiti.co.nz THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Who: All Kāpiti-based employers are welcome to register, and on the night will meet and chat with youth about their industry, the youth's skills, experience and plans for the future and share tips with them on becoming employed.

Attend all three events, or register for those that suit you. You are welcome to bring a colleague or two along or attend on your own, the choice is yours!

This is a FREE event open to all Kāpiti based employers, and rangatahi aged 15-24 years old. It offers youth a great opportunity to connect with a number of local businesses from a variety of industries to find their pathway into future training or employment.

It’s an amazing opportunity for local rangatahi to get a head-start on their career journey and for local businesses to get involved in this journey and connect with potential future employees.

You might even secure your next employee superstar!

We will have speakers, entertainment and light refreshments on the night, with the opportunity to network with other like-minded employers as well, all while supporting our own local rangatahi become Work Ready.

To register simply hit "Get Tickets" and select your #EmployerMeet of choice.
