Trevor FitzellCERTIFICATE IN AUTOMOTIVE WORKSHOP AND REPAIR

While studying at John Paul College, Trevor Fitzell was advised to first complete an automotive programme at Waiariki Institute of Technology and a local business would consider him for an apprenticeship.

Following this advice, Trevor enrolled on the Certificate in Automotive Workshop and Repair.

Trevor completed the Level 4 certificate 24 weeks later and he not only gained the basics for working in the automotive trade, he also earned the National Certificate in Motor Industry (Entry Skills) (Level 2), which is embedded within Waiariki’s qualification.

With these accomplishments firmly in his pocket, Trevor happily accepted Shorland Slater’s offer to begin his apprenticeship. Two years on and Trevor has nearly completed his apprenticeship and has continued his relationship with Waiariki by attending apprentice night classes.

“I really enjoyed the hands-on in the retail workshop at Waiariki, working on customers’ vehicles, and the interaction with the tutors and other students,” Trevor said. “I would recommend to anyone who is looking at working in the automotive industry to do this programme at Waiariki.”

ENGINEERING AND WELDING

An engineering education will exercise your brain, developing your ability to think logically and to solve problems. These are skills that will be valuable throughout your life – and not only when you are solving engineering problems.

Perhaps you want the satisfaction of completing a project and being able to take pride in your workmanship. Welders help make cars, metal appliances, buildings, bridges and planes. Their skills are invaluable and provide people with many modern conveniences.

Skills and interests you may already have: Enjoy working with tools and equipment Enjoy solving problems through creative and

innovative thinking Scientifically and mathematically minded Ability to adapt easily to new technology Ability to concentrate for long periods and be

patient

We look forward to teaching you: How to follow safety guidelines and procedures Engineering and fabrication skills and

knowledge Practical welding skills and techniques Manual and CAD drawing

What industry opportunities are there?With the emphasis on improving infrastructure, there is a shortage of engineers and welders in New Zealand. A huge number of infrastructure projects are set to kick off in New Zealand over the next decade which could be threatened by a shortage of engineers, welders and technical people. By joining this exciting and challenging industry you could help overcome this shortage.

Depending on what you specialise in, you can choose where you work. Anywhere from indoors or outdoors, hot or cold, office desk or workshop. There can also be plenty of variety in locations and sites.

In a time of rapid social and technological changes, the need for creative thinkers is greater now than ever before. If you like to question, explore, invent, discover and create, then engineering and welding could be the ideal path for you.

CarpentryKEN SAMSON (LEFT) AND JOSHUA JELLARD (FAR RIGHT) WITH WAIARIKI’S MIKE FOGARTY

CERTIFICATE IN CARPENTRY (PRE-TRADE)Collaboration between Waiariki Institute of Technology and local business owners is an important component to the educational programmes at Waiariki. These valuable relationships provide opportunities for Waiariki students to gain practical, hands-on training. It also allows the industry experts to provide input into the training which keeps Waiariki’s programmes relevant and applicable.

These relationships quite often lead to employment offers to Waiariki students who impressed business owners during their onsite training, and Ken Samson and Joshua Jellard are

two such examples.

Ken and Joshua are both graduates of the Certificate in Carpentry (Pre-Trade) and are now employed with Graham Pedersen Builders in Rotorua where they are being supported through ITaB apprenticeships.

“I have offered work experience opportunities to a number of Waiariki students and have found them to be very keen,” says Graham Pedersen, who takes an active role in the interaction. “Waiariki staff are supportive and I enjoy being part of the programme both with students and sitting on the Local Advisory Committee.”

Mike Fogarty, programme area leader for carpentry, construction and electrical at Waiariki, coordinates these opportunities for students

and employers.

“These relationships we have with industry are an invaluable part of Waiariki’s training,” he says. “We would certainly not be seeing the success we are without the support and commitment from these businesses.”

Does working in a variety of settings with a variety of people appeal to you? Just think, yesterday you were outside in the sunshine building a deck for a recreation centre. Today you’re inside completing window sills on an amazing residential property. Whatever your job for each day, a career in carpentry is hugely rewarding and you get to see the results of your efforts for many years after.

Skills and interests you may already have: Enjoy working with tools, machinery and materials

such as wood, concrete and steel Creative with a sense of style Desire to see projects through from start to finish Reasonable level of fitness Practical ability with a good level of concentration and

accuracy Get along well with trades people, building

professionals and clients

We look forward to teaching you: Ability to solve mathematical problems quickly and

accurately How to interpret and develop plans and specifications Preparing estimates and quotes for costs and materials A range of applied carpentry skills Knowledge of residential house construction and the

construction industry

What industry opportunities are there?Opportunities for skilled and experienced carpenters are on the increase. Another bonus is that New Zealand trained carpenters have great career opportunities worldwide.

Whether you are contracted, employed or running your own business, carpenters usually specialise in either residential or commercial construction. Residential carpenters usually work for a builder or a building firm (which could be your own), many of which employ two to 10 people. Commercial construction is dominated by the larger building firms, such as Fulton Hogan, Hawkins Construction, Mainzeal or Fletcher Building, who employ carpenters but are increasingly subcontracting work to mid-sized building companies.

Job sites can vary from urban subdivisions to rural farm stations, to mountain and beach retreats, to inner city apartment blocks, commercial office blocks, and retail shop fit-outs, sometimes with a number of jobs under construction at the same time.

With such a diverse range of activities and capabilities, the carpentry trade has the potential to offer you plenty of variety and challenge as well as satisfaction of living in a house that you built with your own hands!

Stanley UrlichCERTIFICATE IN ELECTRICAL AND RELATED TRADES (PRE-EMPLOYMENT)

After completing NCEA Level 3 in Rarotonga in 2009, Stanely Urlich moved to Rotorua to begin studying the Certificate in Electrical and Related Trades (Pre-employment) at Waiariki Institute of Technology. His aim was to gain an electrical pre-apprenticeship qualification.

Fast forward and Stanley has done exactly that and more.

Two years into his apprenticeship with Leishman Electrical in Rotorua, Stanley still sings the praises of the one-year, Level 3 qualification he completed at Waiariki to get into the industry. He says he found the training at the institute to be “a great base for real, practical skills” which he is now applying daily in his job.

Stanley credits the support he received at Waiariki in helping him find direction in his life and says he is loving his new career path.

Rowan MonkRowan Monk has spent the majority of his life in the forest industry. Furthering his education at Waiariki’s School of Forestry and Primary Industries helped him when he truly needed it, he said.

“I ran my own business in the forest industry where I had been a forestry contractor for a few years. I had an accident at work that changed my life forever. It meant I had to change what I knew, which was hard physical labour, and find something I could handle post-accident, which was more sedentary.”

A graduate of the Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety and the Diploma in Forestry, Rowan is currently working as the health, safety, training and recruitment officer for CNI Forest Management Ltd in Rotorua where he has definitely put his Waiariki qualifications and his own experience to good use.

When asked what has been most valuable for him during his studies, Rowan remarked, “Just having an understanding of what I do and why. As I have many years of experience, it is great to be able to really understand why we do what we do. It enhances my knowledge considerably.”
