Youth in Health and Wellbeing Careers Events 2021 – SAVE THE DATES!

Join us and explore careers in health and wellbeing!

With support from the Ministry of Education, Careerforce the Industry Training Organisation for the health and wellbeing sectors are running career exploration events for high school students. The health and wellbeing sector needs more young people in the workforce to combat the existing workforce shortages.

The health and wellbeing sectors offer many exciting and rewarding career opportunities for young people, who want to make both a career, and a difference.

These sectors cover the likes of healthcare, social and community services, mental health, disability support, aged care, and youth work. Common across all the sectors is the increasingly challenging workforce shortages, and the need to attract younger people into their workforces.

We welcome high school students interested in:

• Pursuing a career within health and wellbeing, and earning as they’re learning.
• Helping people recover from illness or injury to live independent lives.
• Caring for the aged and vulnerable in the community.
• Providing quality service and patient care.
• Working with other young people to reach their full potential.

For any questions, email schools@careerforce.org.nz

We’ll bring together students and employers. We’ll invite inspiring speakers who have made a career in these sectors.

We have planned interactive workshops, activities and allowed time for employers and students to interact.
