BACKGROUND
Our Ministry is all about helping to build successful individuals, and in turn building strong, healthy families and communities.
It’s a big job – we’re tackling some of the big issues in society, like family violence and youth offending.
We’re working towards this through providing:
- care and protection of vulnerable children and young people
- employment, income support and superannuation services
- funding to community service providers
- social policy and advice to government
- student allowances and loans
- social housing assessments.
Our work touches the lives of more than one million New Zealanders. This is not work we do alone. We work closely with other government agencies, non-government organisations, advisory and industry groups, and communities and iwi. Together we aim to make a positive and lasting difference in the lives of New Zealanders.
We are particularly interested in working with local businesses to ensure more Northlanders are gainfully employed and employers are supported to find the right people for their business.
WHAT WE DO:
Help people into work by way of…
- Workshops and practical advice for getting work.
- Training, seminars or work experience to build up confidence and skills.
- Grants and subsidies to encourage employers to provide work.
- Income support to help people get into, and stay in work.
- Practical support for people with the right experience to start a business.
Supporting employers…
One of the ways we help people find work is to support employers who provide work for our clients. If you’re an employer our services include:
- your own Work Broker to help you find the right people
- training and seminars to help our clients get up to speed quickly
- wage subsidies to help with the costs of providing work.
