Children and young people are learning and developing
Government is doubling the number of participants in this free “work readiness” training course for 18-24-year-olds (with some 17 year-olds able to attend by exception). The course is a six-week residential course delivered by the New Zealand Defence Force, with support from the Ministry of Social Development and the New Zealand Police.
The expansion involves new build facilities at Whenuapai Air Base in Auckland and the refurbishment of a NZDF leased site in Trentham, Wellington and increasing to 1,600 trainees per annum.
