Mayor’s Taskforce for jobs information evening

11 Jun 2026

What if meeting your contract requirements could also help solve workforce challenges, strengthen your reputation, and create lasting impact in the Kāpiti community?

The Mayor's Taskforce for Jobs has already connected more than 30 local young people into meaningful employment, helping businesses access motivated local talent while creating positive outcomes.

Now we're inviting local suppliers and contractors to discover how these same partnerships can support your business goals.

With Broader Outcomes increasingly embedded within our procurement contracts, businesses have a unique opportunity to turn contractual obligations into genuine value.

Whether you're tendering for work, delivering existing contracts, or simply looking to build a stronger local workforce, understanding how to leverage employment and training pathways can set your business apart.

Join us for an engaging evening of networking, nibbles, practical insights, and real-world success stories. Learn how the Mayor's Taskforce for Jobs can help you meet Broader Outcomes requirements through sustainable employment opportunities, workforce development, apprenticeships, mentoring, and community partnerships – without creating additional complexity for your business.

RSVP by 5pm, Friday 19 June

Haydn James of KHHS, Kapiti Hardscaping and newly employed Landscaping Labourer, Kate Causer as part of Mayor's Taskforce for Jobs
