Sensational seasonal opportunities at T&G Kerikeri
New Zealand’s leading fresh produce company, T&G Global has had a great response to its summer recruitment campaign – FRESHWORX 20/21 with over 60 locals expressing interest to work on its blueberry orchards over the coming months.”
T&G Labour and Compliance Manager, Richard Lenton says the upcoming season is unlike any other due to a shortage of skilled labour but it’s been a great opportunity to highlight the thriving blueberry and citrus industries we have in Northland and showcase the variety of jobs available at T&G. “This season presents us with a real opportunity to show our local community what T&G offers, what skills they can learn and the career pathways we can provide,” says Richard. The T&G team will be interviewing potential recruits over the coming weeks and want to hear from anyone interested in opportunities at T&G Kerikeri. “We’re eager to support our local community by finding innovative ways to support people entering the industry, whether it’s through flexible hours or providing transport, and we’re committed to growing
our people through career development and pathway opportunities” says Richard. Simon Te Namu started at one of T&G Kerikeri orchards in 2019 as a seasonal machine operator. He quickly proved to be a great asset to the business and soon secured a permanent position at T&G. “When I started at T&G, I felt super welcomed and found the team really great to work with. It was my first time being out on machines and I really enjoyed the challenge of something new.” says Simon. Simon duties now involve developing and maintaining the irrigation systems. “If you’re prepared to put in the effort, there’s opportunity for you to grow at T&G. We’re a close-knit group and they look out for your plans for the future.” Simon alongside four colleagues are currently completely Level 2 in Primary Fruit Production with Primary ITO. “I think it’s awesome that you can get the qualifications while working on the job. I’ve learnt lots of different skills like getting to drive all the different machinery such as the ride on mower, tractor and crop sprayer.” Throughout the seven-month qualification, students further develop their skills through learning how to plant, grow and prune a range of fruit crops as well as learning to identify hazards and how to ensure safe food practises.
T&G is also looking for ways to facilitate and encourage careers within the horticulture industry. T&G has been working closely with Tokotoko Solutions to provide insights into the horticulture industry and discuss the potential employment pathways available. Tokotoko Solutions is a charitable trust, assembled to provide people with the support and skills needed to navigate through different stages of life. They offer an intensive four-week work ready training programme which aims to build confidence and skills to support people into work within industries that are currently experiencing skill shortages. In December, T&G hosted Tokotoko Solutions current intake and provided an opportunity to meet the orchard team and learn the art of blueberry picking. Tokotoko Solutions Director, Isopo Samu says “being able to meet the team at T&G was a great opportunity for our clients to break the ice and ease any nerves in the workplace. It really humanises the workplace and builds confidence as our clients learn the workplace norms and expectations.” T&G is still looking for expressions of interest for the upcoming blueberry harvest, their current job opportunities can be found online their website at fruitjobs.co.nz, or feel free to call in and meet the team at the Kaprio Road office.

Speed meeting helps jobseekers make connections By Donna Russell
A local horticulture expo and ‘speed meet’ attracted more than 200 people from across Northland and the North Island recently.
T
he event was held as part of a national attempt to address major shortages appearing in the horticulture industry.Without the traditional overseas travellers that would usually snap up the seasonal work, the labour shortage is affecting the horticulture industry particularly at a time when many more orchards are being planted in Northland. Labour shortages have been identified as a major challenge as the new orchards come onstream in the next few years. Held at the Cornerstone Church in Kerikeri, the speed meet matched jobseekers with Northland growers needing workers for the season, training providers and career advisors.

Bruce Campbell, a director on the Horticulture New Zealand board, says in the current environment, industry led events like this are critical for growers, and for those looking for immediate employment or to build a new career for themselves. “Preparing a highly skilled workforce to support our growth plans isn’t going to happen overnight or without a lot of support and it’s been fantastic to have the support of different agencies as we cater for the demand.” The T&G Fresh Blueberry harvest is underway and the fresh produce company is looking into innovative ways to attract workers to help with the harvest and post-harvest over the coming months. “We’re working closely with the Ministry of Social Development and coming up with innovative solutions to help people entering the industry,” says T&G Fresh Regional Manager – Kerikeri, Tom Chamberlain. “We’ve also launched our biggest recruitment drive yet – FRESHWORX 20/21 – which aims to attract students to help ‘drop the crop’ and have fun while working on the orchards this summer. Taking part in the recent Expo, along with our FRESHWORX Open Day, has enabled us to showcase the variety of exciting jobs available with us.” The open day highlighted the attractions of the industry, with plenty of positions available and good money available. Applicants need only have a good attitude, reliable transport and be drug-free, according to the T & G website.
“Looking further ahead, partnering with growers to provide effective workforce solutions will also help create sustainable career pathways for hardworking Northlanders...”
Blueberry pickers are still being sought for work in February and March, with on-the-job training available and positions available for pickers over 16 years old. More than 60 job seekers, including 30 job seekers from the Tokotoko Solutions work-ready training programme, turned up to learn firsthand about the upcoming blueberry harvest at a recent open day. Kerikeri locals, along with others from Whangarei and Auckland, got to meet the team at T&G and learn the art of blueberry picking in T&G’s Kapiro Road orchard. T&G Labour and Compliance Manager, Richard Lenton says the upcoming season is unlike any other due to a shortage of skilled labour and presents an opportunity to showcase the variety of jobs available at T&G. “This season presents us with a real opportunity to show our local community what T&G offers and the great career pathways we can provide,” says Lenton.

One thing we all have in common is food. Our need for food and our love of food is universal.
E
ating can be one of life’s greatest pleasures. The saying ‘A full belly, a happy heart’, epitomises the feel-good factor associated with food. Food can be our friend, and also our enemy. We all want to eat healthily and by cooking your own food you know exactly what ingredients go into it. It’s also good for your pocket. Say goodbye to takeout and say hello to eating in. Don’t know how to cook? Then join a cooking class and learn how. Ben Fernmoor is a professional cook who is offering a number of cooking classes with Community Education Whangarei. Let Ben teach you how to cook a variety of quick, easy, healthy
and economical meals that are also delicious. Discover some cost-effective tips on sourcing and selecting ingredients, food handling and hygiene, food storage, using left-overs and how to adapt meals depending on the ingredients in your pantry. Learn how to prepare and cook each dish and how to vary each recipe so you can prepare additional dishes. Ben welcomes beginners, students, recipe-phobics and also those with some experience. Don’t let your kitchen get the better of you. Perhaps you already have a passion for cooking and are looking for some inspiration. Ben is also offering separate classes on how to make gnocchi, pasta and choux pastry. For details visit www.

Before leaving high school in the UK, I had to decide between nursing and catering as a career choice. I chose nursing and that was my vocation for most of my working life. But it was not my passion. After a long career as a training instructor with an airline, I finally became a professional cook. It was a role I immediately felt comfortable in and although I had been the main cook at home for years, being paid to cook for a living was a real thrill. I love cooking. I love the science that transforms raw ingredients into a
meal. But cooking is also an art form. The sight, sounds, tastes and smells of food being cooked and served inspires and stimulates. Cooking is like music – a limitless abundance of combinations and arrangements.” Let Ben share his love of cooking with you. Join a class today!

Māori Achieving Education Success as Māori While many will be happy to see the back of 2020, opportunities did present themselves throughout this year of adversity and society as we knew it changed.
WHĀIA TE ITI
KAHURANGI Outcome Domains
to support excellent outcomes for Māori learners and whānau:
D
uring COVID-19 communities, agencies and businesses, pulled together across our region as never before to protect our borders and support our people. 2020 also saw the introduction of groundbreaking Government legislation in New Zealand, purposed for the times we are living. The new Public Service Act 2020 explicitly recognises the role of the public service its relationships with Māori under Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The new act puts explicit responsibilities on Public service leaders for developing and maintaining the capability of the public services to engage with Māori and to understand Māori perspectives. This is no less the case for the Ministry of Education, and education provision in the Tai Tokerau region. The new Education and Training Act 2020 is the biggest rewrite of education legislation for decades. The purpose of the Act includes provision for establishing and regulating an education system that honours Te Tiriti o Waitangi and supports Māori-Crown relationships. The Act determines that School Boards of Trustees must give effect
to Te Tiriti o Waitangi by working to ensure their plans, policies and local curriculum reflect local tikanga Māori, mātauranga Māori and te ao Māori to achieve equitable outcomes for Māori learners. The role of the Ministry of Education is to support the implementation of these new laws through a 30-year education vision and work programme. The Ministry of Education will be focusing on how we can put genuine partnership at the heart of our work to give practical effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We see evidence of this priority in the recently launched Statement of National Education and Learning Priorities (NELP) and the Tertiary Education Strategy (TES). These documents set out the Government’s priorities for education that will ensure the success and wellbeing of all learners throughout their whole learning journey. They are statutory documents issued under the Education and Training Act 2020 that direct government and education sector activities towards the actions that will make the biggest difference in delivering successful outcomes for all learners. The NELP and TES will help create education
environments that are learner centred, and where more of our learners, and especially more of our Māori and Pacific learners, are successful. NELP and TES expectations become alive through Ka Hikitia, the Māori Education Strategy, and Tau Mai Te Reo the Māori Language in Education Strategy. Together these documents outline the shifts needed in education for Māori to enjoy and achieve educational success as Māori, and growth in te reo Māori for both Māori and non-Māori learners. So how does this work practically for teachers and children? One example is the Government’s $108 million commitment to develop Te Ahu o te Reo Māori to upskill 40,000 teachers and school staff in te reo Māori. Registrations are now open for Te Ahu o te Reo Māori, a programme to normalise the language so it would be used in everyday classroom life. Approximately 10,000, primary and secondary school teachers, and non-teaching support staff across the country would be able to join the programme over four years. These are exciting times for education in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Education provision responds to learners within the context of their whānau.
Māori are free from racism, discrimination and stigma in education.
Identity, language and culture matter for Māori learners.
Māori exercise their authority and agency in education.
We will support Māori learners and their whānau to be informed and demanding decision-makers, with high expectations of our education services.
Māori learners and whānau have identified racism as a major barrier in our education system. We will address this, provide equitable access to services, and in ways that promote fairness and are respectful and culturally appropriate, so that Māori learners and their whānau have a strong sense of belonging.
Māori are diverse and need to be understood in the context of their diverse aspirations and lived experiences.
Our education services will support the growth and development of the Māori language.
Our education services will support whānau, hapū, iwi and Māori to exercise agency and authority over the education of Māori learners at all levels of the education system.
We will also support Māori learners and their whānau to plan and pursue the education pathways that they aspire to.
Our education services will recognise and provide for Māori diversity. Our education workforce will have the right skills and capacity to support all Māori learners, including those with disabilities and learning support needs, to achieve excellent outcomes.
We will support the identity, language and culture of Māori learners and their whānau to strengthen belonging, engagement and achievement as Māori so that Māori learners can actively participate in te ao Māori, Aotearoa and the wider world.
We will support Māori to make decisions about the education of Māori learners. We will account to whānau, hapū, iwi and Māori for the education services we provide.
These outcome domains reflect key messages that we have heard from Māori over an extended period of time and our evidence base about what works for Māori.

Farm internship programme is changing lives By Donna Russell
“What we are achieving gives me goosebumps.’’

Farm intern Jamie Hodges at docking time.
hat is the response of Whangarei Agricultural and Pastoral Society chief executive Chris Mason to the early success of the Society’s Farm Intern Programme. She said the programme was changing people’s lives, and seeing happy interns and farmers was extremely gratifying. The first graduates completed one year of the course and attended a graduation ceremony on December 10. “Seeing the beaming smiles of the graduating interns made it all very worthwhile,’’ she said. In a modern twist on the old farm cadet scheme, the new live-in, on-farm training initiative aims to grow future farmers on the job. The programme, set up in response to the shortage of skilled workers in the farming industry, has allowed trainees to stay in Northland when they would usually have had to leave the region to pursue training opportunities. The A&P Society has established the programme with funding support from the Provincial Growth Fund for the administration for the first four years. The aim is for graduates of the two-year training scheme to come out with Level 3 and 4 New Zealand Certificate in Agriculture, as well as practical experience and life skills to allow them to

hit the ground running in the industry. Mason said more than 20 people have applied for the 2021 intake, and a second tutor has been hired to handle tutoring interns in a second cohort in the Far North. “With a Far North and Whangarei cohort, we can now support trainees from Kaitaia to as far south as Kumeu more easily,’’ she said. Peter Currie, an experienced farmer and Far North local has been engaged by Land Based Training to run the Far North cohort. Of the 14 enrolments last year, five withdrew for various reasons from health to incompatibility to leaving the region for fulltime work. The remaining nine have either already graduated or plan to finish the course this year. “Life hands out some curve balls sometimes which made it hard for some interns to complete

the programme last year, but for a first year programme, we are pleased with how it went.’’ Mason said pastoral care was an important part of the programme as many interns were straight out of school and having to adjust to a new way of life staying with the farmer’s family and working non-school hours. “Sometimes we moved interns a couple of times to get the best match.’’ Initially the programme offered no pay in the first year, with the interns eligible for study funding. Normal wages start in the second year once the intern had gained some skills and confidence and is employed under a normal employment contract. “However, we have decided to change this model as we found that the study allowance did not cater for interns under 18 and older interns were reluctant to go into debt so none took up the funding. Some of the farmers were also more than happy to start paying their interns as they were so happy with their progress. “We also found some interns did not need to
be accommodated on the farm and preferred to commute which suits some of the host farmers as well. “As a result, the Farm Intern Programme is much more flexible.’’ A new payment module has been set up on an increasing scale to reflect the value of the interns as they become more competent. By the end of the first year, the intern is expected to be moved into fully paid employment. “In effect, they have worked themselves into a fulltime job, and many will continue to work on the same farms.’’ Mason said she was proud of the results achieved so far “particularly that we can offer such an individualized and flexible programme”. More farmers are lined up to take the next batch of interns with an equal mix of dairy, and sheep and beef. “We have strong interest from new interns and we would always welcome more farmers who might be interested in joining the programme.”

And in 2021, we are excited to announce that we have a number of kaupapa lined up which our rangatahi can choose to participate in such as work experience with Manaia Media, Takaro Taitokerau, workshops and events.

We also believe in the importance of rangatahi finding their own talents and specific interests in technology. Once they’ve uncovered this, we help them to pursue these through mentorship, further education, training and internships. Basically, we change our program to fit the individual needs and aspirations of our students. As we’ve built up NGEN Room we’ve also fostered relationships - so that now we can get
