Work Ready Kāpiti is a non-profit charitable trust facilitating work readiness programmes for rangatahi, working with other local agencies to have a positive impact on the economic and social development of the Kāpiti region. We aim to give young people the tools and networks they need to succeed, while encouraging local businesses to invest in the next generation. By bridging the gap between education and work, Work Ready Kāpiti is building a pipeline of skilled, motivated young talent and strengthening the region’s economic and social fabric.
Previous governance experience is preferable but not essential. We would welcome interest from individuals with communications and marketing experience or youth mentorship and counselling expertise.
Board meetings are monthly on the third Tuesday, 5.30-7.30pm in Paraparaumu Beach, with an option to video call in. There is a once-a-year half day planning session and the opportunity to give time to specific projects or areas of interest. Trustees can expect to be asked from time to time to be present at trust related activities.
