industry knowledge and areas requiring further training. At the end of the internship the client leaves with

a greater insight into the New Zealand workplace culture, relevant work experience, a reference and a new

network. The internships can be paid or voluntary, full or part time. If necessary, migrants will be referred on to

relevant organisations to provide further training or up skilling to improve possibilities of gaining employment
