Signing with EmployNZ Tauranga was an excellent experience from the very beginning. Sally met with me at short notice, quickly identified how they could help and instantly connected me with Melissa Oliver who leads the Tauranga EPS programme. Melissa is “the bomb” – she is able to quickly hone in on what each person in her group needs and customise their learning and job seeking activity to them individually. Her classroom is fun, inclusive, supportive, motivational and inspirational. Melissa goes the extra mile for her students, any question or request for help outside of normal class hours was always responded to very quickly to support my job seeking efforts. Thanks to Melissa and EmployNZ I was placed only three weeks after joining their programme. Awesome
