Local Employer Support
EmployNZ visited several local Tauranga employers to discuss their need to employ people who could fill their IT Technical Support and Systems Administration vacancies. We also spoke to several people in the wider sector who promote learning and employment pathways into the IT Technical Support and IT Infrastructure sectors, focusing on getting more Māori, Pacific Peoples and Women into the IT and Tech Support industry to encourage diversity within their workforces.
With the support from the Tertiary Education Commission, we have developed a mini documentary which follows an EmployNZ IT graduate through his career in here in Tauranga and we have woven the footage from the IT teams and senior people that he has worked alongside as they explain what they need to meet their customer’s needs.
