“Lifeskills gave me the hands-on training and support I needed to start my career in automotive repair. The practical experience in the workshops and the career guidance helped me build confidence and land my first job. I couldn’t have asked for a better start!”
Lesley Harvey, Automotive Graduate
"After losing my dad in 2024, I had no home or support. A youth coach and the housing team helped me into emergency, then transitional housing. It’s been tough, but I’m stronger now and hopeful for the future. I’m so grateful for the support that’s helped me get here."
Prabh, Youth Housing Whānau
"Thank you, Lifeskills Support + Employment, for your support and belief in me. Your guidance helped shape who I am today and gave me the confidence to grow, even when I doubted myself. I’m truly grateful."
Fairy, NEET Whānau
"Lifeskills has been a supportive and welcoming place to study. Our tutor is patient and understanding, and the Health and Wellbeing Level 3 course has taught me valuable lessons in caring for others. The placement helped me better understand the work, and I feel more confident about my future and career."
Nafisa Ali, Health and Wellbeing Graduate
"The Level 1 & 2 Building and Construction course was a great mix of theory and hands-on learning. I gained confidence with tools, learned real-world skills, and felt well supported by the trainers. A solid starting point for anyone entering the trade."
