There are many benefits of working in trades, as some of New Zealand’s most successful senior managers who started their careers in the trades will tell you!

As a qualified tradesperson you can be virtually guaranteed a job – and income! – not just anywhere in New Zealand, but anywhere in the world. You can own your own business, and your earning potential? Well, let’s just say the sky’s the limit.​


Skilled tradespeople are in demand!

The results of the 2016-2017 Manpower Group Talent Shortage survey show Skilled Trades jobs as the most difficult roles to fill in New Zealand. This means there are lots of job opportunities for people like you!
