Waikato Engineering Education Fund builds capacity

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Creating a long-term local solution to the growing skills shortage in the engineering sector is the aim of a new philanthropic investment fund at Momentum Waikato.

The Waikato Engineering Careers Association (WEEF), which will focus on innovation, diversity and equity in the industry, was launched by the Waikato Engineering Careers Association (WECA) at its recent 20th Anniversary event at The University of Waikato’s impressive new Pā.

Hanga-Aro-Rau, the Workforce Development Council for Manufacturing Engineering and Logistics, applauds this new Fund, as the skills gap is currently set to grow by 38 per cent to 40,000 workers by 2028.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.

Leaving Neighbourly

Orlando from Pukete

Hey everyone, just a quick note to say I’m leaving Neighbourly. I joined because I thought it would be a good way to connect with people in the community, especially the older generation, and to receive advice, help, and shared knowledge.

Over time I’ve made quite a few posts genuinely looking for help or guidance, and unfortunately I’ve rarely received any responses. Most of the time it’s just one or two likes and no actual comments or help, which gets pretty discouraging after a while.

I understand people are busy, but when you consistently put things out there and hear almost nothing back, it starts to feel like there’s no real point in being part of the platform. Because of that, I’ve decided it’s best for me to move on.

No hard feelings — just not the right fit for me. Wishing everyone all the best.
