In 2011 we successfully piloted Youth Guarantee at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.  We offered six classes in five different areas – Mangere, New Lynn, Hamilton, Tokoroa and Rotorua. For 2012, we are offering one programme: Certificate in Sports, Fitness & Health.  Included in this programme is the National Certificate in Employment Skills which is completed during the year. We are currently taking expressions of interest from youth who have a keen interest in sports, are committed to their learning and have whānau support to complete the programme.

The Certificate in Sports, Fitness and Health Level 2 and the National Certificate in Employment Skills is being offered in West Auckland, Mangere, Hamilton, Tokoroa, Rotorua and Kawerau.
