"Why should I even think about it"?
Well think about the following for a start:
- Many adults are finding it difficult to get work in New Zealand these days!
- It is even harder for young people to find their first job during the "down-times"!
- Sometimes it's who you know, that will get you a job! - But what if you don't know anyone with connections?
- Make your own mind up whether you think the Career Passport course might help you personally to get the job you want?
- This site could help you get the key skills you need, before you apply for the job of your dreams!

We also know that employers like;
- tidy minds, tidy habits and a respectful attitude;

- the designers pooled their wide experience and created a self-directed study course that young people can work on, either alone in the privacy of their own home, or in a group situation.
