Feedback from Workchoice Day partners is outlined below:
FONTERRA
Workchoice Day is a great success with students visiting Fonterra sites across the country on a single day. When you're at school you may think you know what it's like to work in a 15 storey office building or in a manufacturing plant that runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You might even be able to imagine what it's like having colleagues in 20 different timezones selling NZ products around the world. But until you can see it, smell it, touch it and feel it for a day, you won't know if it's the workplace where you want to start your own career.
Fonterra is a proud sponsor of Workchoice Day because it provides a gateway to achieving career dreams. We believe young people should be able to make informed choices about their careers. And we believe it's up to businesses like ours to help build New Zealand's future workforce. We know it's important because they are our future too.
GENEVA HEALTH
Geneva Health has been a supporter and advocate of The Workchoice Trust for a number of years. It is wonderful to see the Workchoice/Geneva Health partnership working so successfully to ensure as many students as possible are exposed to the opportunities the health industry offers now and in the future. Given the desperate need to attract young people into the health industry, it is quite an achievement to see health employers making such a commitment to our future workforce. The Workchoice Trust are the people who provide the vehicle for this to happen and Geneva Health are extremely proud to be able to support such a tremendous initiative, which will make such a huge difference to our community as a whole.
