Our industry partner Water New Zealand has launched a new collection of 14 career videos designed to showcase the water industry which is essential to our health and wellbeing and invite people to consider a career in water.
The videos feature the experience of individuals currently working and training in the water sector – including our very own Connexis trainees: Shannon Reti, Mason Wilkie, and Nick Shaw! As well as highlighting the wide range of career opportunities available in the water sector, the videos also showcase the skills and day-to-day work involved in different roles.
Created in collaboration with employers and industry training providers, and supported with funding from the Infrastructure Education and Training Charitable Trust, the videos are part of a broader effort by Water New Zealand to align with the Waihanga Ara Rau Workforce Development Council’s Workforce Activation Strategy. That strategy identified promotional videos as one of six key initiatives to attract talent to the water sector.
Water New Zealand is making the videos freely available to schools, industry partners, and other organisations. The videos are also featured on Tahatū Career Navigator, the new careers planning platform from TEC, which replaces careers.govt.nz.
At Connexis, we’re proud to support this initiative and will be sharing these videos across our website and other marketing channels to help spread the word: that the water industry offers interesting, varied, and rewarding career paths within a growing and vital industry for New Zealand.
