Participants wanted: 'New careers and their prospects: navigating the future of work'

My name is Nicolette Trueman and I am a Massey University Master’s research student. I am now recruiting participants for a study focusing on young people’s current experiences of employment. You will be reimbursed for your involvement with a $25 petrol, grocery or book voucher. I am looking for individuals of all ethnic, gender and cultural backgrounds. The ideal candidate should have no more than 2-3 years’ work experience in the labour market and will be:

1. Living in Auckland
2. 18-28 years of age
3. Employed on either a full time, casual, self-employed or fixed term contract.
4. Working 30+ hours per week

The study consists of one focus group and one group based workshop. This project aims to reflect on the working experiences of young people in the early stages of their career and stimulate discussions of their desires, anticipations and expectations in relation to the future of work. The research will involve you coming into the Massey University Albany Campus for one weekday evening focus group (1-1.5 hours) and one Saturday morning workshop (2.5-3 hours).

If you are interested or feel that you might like to engage in conversations about the future of work, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I am happy to provide more information and details. My contact email is n.trueman.work@gmail.com

This Year - "Learn to Code" ! 💻

Make a start by registering for our Free Open Day and get exposed to the fascinating world of Coding and Robotics. Anyone from the age of 5-18 can attend.

Every Sunday at 2:00 pm, SCRATCHPAD invites you to attend a free Open Day where you get to write your first program or if you have some experience then try that next level of coding. The event begins at 2:00pm and we encourage parents to also try their hands at coding, if the event is not full (which rarely happens).

Registration is essential to secure a spot. You can do this by calling our Northcote Centre on (09) 815 0825 or following our website.

We hope to see all of you there!

Have you ever come across the carcass of an animal on the beach?

Kendall Hutt Reporter from North Shore Times

Hi neighbours. Two pig carcasses with their stomachs cut open and meat removed were found on Little Manly beach on Friday morning. Have you ever come across the carcass of an animal on the beach? Did you report it to Auckland Council? Please put NFP in your post if it is not for publication.

Do you work from a cafe or co-working space?

Freedom Camping Newsflash 2: Roads

Freedom Camping to be allowed on all roads, if councillors approve the revised Freedom Camping Bylaw.
The Freedom Camping hearing panel deliberations continued today, and legal opinion is that they are unable to include a "General Rule" to restrict freedom camping from all roads and other areas not specifically mentioned in the proposed bylaw. This is because the Regulatory Committee chose to exclude it from the public consultation process. In order to include it, they would need to go out for public consultation again, which would not likley happen until next year.
The implication of this is that if councillors adopt the Freedom Camping Bylaw as recommended by the Hearing Panel, any area not specified by the bylaw, or does not already have parking restrictions (such as broken yellow lines), will be opened up to freedom camping.
One exception to the above in the Kaipatiki area is a few streets around Onepoto Domain, as a large number of submitters asked for the park prohibition to be extended to nearby roads.
