SUMMARY

Since 1998 SENZ has provided training and employment services and has vast experience in providing careers advice, employment brokerage, training and referring youth to successful pathways.

All of SENZ training programmes have a balance between practical and academic components. It is so important that a student is in an environment where they can work to the best of their ability. Our programmes are well taught and well resourced so the students can work to their potential.

SENZ has been running successful employment services since 1999 and is currently providing successful Outcome Based Contracting, In Work Support and Supporting Sole Parent programmes to Work and Income clients in the Auckland region. SENZ also liaises with local employers in the community to provide free services in recruitment of staff. We have worked with a wide range of clients, from youth through to mature clients and have been very successful in assisting these clients to achieve their specific goals.

A number of strategies are used at SENZ to ensure this happens. These include:

• Meeting our students’ or clients’ emotional, social, physical and spiritual needs
• Instilling a sense of self discipline and core values within each person
• Setting realistic expectations and boundaries
• Believing that the family is part of the solution to many barriers and challenges faced by people
• Assisting our students and clients to tackle the barriers that are holding them back and then implementing appropriate solutions
• Providing an environment that is caring and supportive
• Setting realistic short and long term goals
• Offering short term support after programme completion
• Providing quality educational services for our students

SENZ makes a positive difference to the lives of the people we aim to assist. We look forward to you becoming a member of the team and experiencing the difference that is SENZ Training & Employment Centre.
