Rahera left
school after completing her sixth form year, spending the next few years
in a series of seasonal and casual jobs in Auckland and Rotorua, until
at the end of 2006 she decided that this was not the life she wanted to
lead. Rahera made the commitment to move to
Whakatane, and enrolled with a local training provider. She worked
hard, completed four National Certificates within 9 months and then
worked as a volunteer in their office to gain practical work skills.
In January 2008, Rahera joined a 4-week programme
offered by EmployNZ Whakatane, designed to support those wanting an
administration career into work. |
| Now an essential member of
the clerical pool at Whakatane Hospital, Rahera is gaining experience
working in the different administrative roles in the hospital. She
is continuing her studies in computing, and plans to study part-time to
achieve her National Certificate in Computing level 4 to ensure that she
is always going to be in demand. |
