Help in finding work for an 18yr old

Sonia from Rangiora

Hi everyone:) So I have an 18yr old son who is suddenly decided to leave school with only limited work experience mainly babysitting and odd lifestyle block jobs for family as he was concentrating on studies. He has NCEA level 1 and 2 so we've tried all supermarkets, fast-food places, and everything else is experience experience experience arghh haha - anyone else had a kid in this boat?? any ideas on what else/where else to try?? Also someone suggested to put him on the unemployment benefit as its easier to get entry level jobs through WINZ?? Not overly keen on this as don't want him to have any excuse to sit on his bum!! Half problem is that he has no idea what he wants to do so any opinions/ideas gratefully received!!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
