Career Connexions Tairawhiti Ltd

Welcome to Career Connexions Tairawhiti Ltd. We are a career counselling and guidance service provider based in sunny Gisborne on the East Coast of New Zealand.

We are your service provider for the delivery of the Youth Transition Services (YTS) initiative to the East Coast communities from Potaka in the north to Wairoa in the south and inland towards Matawai.

Youth Transition Services (YTS) is a free service which assists young people aged 15 to 19 years old into further education, training, work or other meaningful activities. The goal of the service is to improve a person's long-term independence and wellbeing.

Are you thinking about leaving school? If you are, then it is time to start making plans for your future. Think about what you are good at, what you enjoy doing and how this might become a part of your plan for the future. Before you make up your mind about which path to take (training, employment or further education) you need to know what is out there.

We offer you free information, help and advice. We can help you make your plan to get into a job, study or training when you leave school. Youth Transition Services can assist young people who have left school, are leaving school or thinking about leaving school. Youth Transition Services can help with career planning and advice as well as information about apprenticeships, training for a career and what work is available locally.

The government and local Councils are behind the service, but the help you get is from organisations in your community with the experience and know-how to work with young people and help make good choices for your future.
