Investing in our rangatahi

The project is committed to leaving a positive and lasting social legacy and its Progressive Employment Programme (PEP), a 16-week paid internship, is a key part of this.  

The goal of the programme is to help bypass barriers preventing rangatahi (young people) from getting to the employment starting line.  

Each year, CRL’s main contractor Link Alliance, recruits a new cohort of youth between 16-24 years old, including those of Māori and Pacifica decent. Successful applicants get to try out a variety of roles within the project while receiving full mentorship, learning development opportunities, and guided work support. Graduates are then provided the opportunity to continue working with Link Alliance full-time.
