A big thank you to The Learning Place for delivering the Customer Service Star course today at Timaru District Council.
It’s so great to see young people putting their hand up to learn something new. The course focused on communication, professionalism, and understanding what good customer service looks like, valuable skills for anyone considering customer-facing work.
⭐️Well done to everyone who got involved. ⭐️ 🤩

33 people supported into employment across Timaru so far this year.
Some came in unsure, some needed a bit of extra support, some just needed someone to back them. Seeing them step into work and find their place has been huge.
Grateful to the employers who partner with us and give opportunities where it matters most!
The mahi continues 💛

What an incredible day at our Careers Expo yesterday i’m still buzzing from it!
A huge shoutout to all of the amazing local businesses who showed up, shared their time, and created real opportunities for exploration for our rangatahi. Your willingness to connect and invest in our young people was invaluable.
And of course, to all the students you were awesome. The curiosity, the questions, the effort put into engaging with employers was so amazing to see.
Events like this remind us just how important it is to bring schools, employers, and our community together. So much potential, so many pathways.
Feeling really proud of what was achieved together 💛
