more about the
scholarship
The scholarships are sponsored by Auckland Council’s The Southern Initiative. Auckland is currently experiencing a demand for skilled tradespeople and that demand is expected to grow.
The Southern Initiative identified young Māori and Pasifika training and employment as a critical priority.
To address this, it delivers the Māori and Pasifika Trades Training programme. The programme is a central government initiative to assist Māori and Pasifika, aged 16 to 40, to:
- gain qualifications through training and apprenticeships
- secure sustainable employment with opportunities for progression.
The programme is based on close collaboration with an employer consortium.
Nearly Everything You Need To Know
About Being A Web Developer
The internet is huge. It has over 1.5 billion websites, with more getting added everyday.
What’s more, it is only going to get bigger, as business comes online, which means there is always going to be a demand for people to help build it.
If you are interested in building a career riding this wave,a job in web development may be the right fit for you. This is valid across the world, but especially true for New Zealand where lack of skilled professionals in technology makes this a highly lucrative career choice to pursue.
What is more, getting started in web development is easy; all you require is a good internet connection and some learning up your sleeve, and you are good to go.
But, what is web development and how do you get started? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. From what exactly constitutes web development to what you need to do in order to become one, and even the scope of job opportunities that lie ahead, we have created an exhaustive resource to help answer all questions you may have about pivoting to this career choice.
This could
BE you.
