MANA IN MAHI HELPS
businesses grow and young
jobseekers thrive
TRIED & TRUSTED BRAND
through generations
A programme advocating
“Strength in Work” is a “winwin”
for both Canterbury
businesses looking for staff
and local young people
looking for work.
The Mana in Mahi programme,
led by the Ministry of Social
Development, helps young
New Zealanders get valuable,
sought-after skills and
qualifications to kick start
their career.
For employers, taking on a
trainee is a big commitment,
especially for smaller
businesses. Mana in Mahi
helps with the costs of preemployment
and on-the-job
training.
It also provides support to
help them get an industry
training qualification,
including an apprenticeship,
and employees can work
towards incentive payments.
Canterbury Work Services
Manager Simon Scott says
the programme is a “win-win”
for both the employer and
employee.
“This is a great opportunity
for you to grow your business
with support from us – and
we also support your new
employee”.
Not only does Mana in Mahi
help businesses gain skilled
and knowledgeable people,
it also helps the wider
Canterbury community by
giving our young people a
kick-start to achieve their
training and career goals.
“Mana in Mahi can help you
make a difference for young
people. Helping a jobseeker
find work can be incredibly
rewarding for both the
employee and the employer,”
Scott said.
“Together, we can help build
a better long term future for
Canterbury”.

this could help you into work,

The iconic Rawleighs brand has
been known for generations in
New Zealand, and Christchurch
distributor Fiona Head is
thrilled to represent it.
Originally from Hawkes
Bay, Fiona came to
Christchurch for
work in 2015, and
says that’s when
she rediscovered
Rawleighs after
40 years.
“My mother and
grandparents
used to buy
Rawleighs,” Fiona
says, “but I hadn’t
had any other contact
with the products until I joined
up with the company. I became
a master distributor in 2017
and since then I haven’t looked
back.”
Fiona’s distribution area covers
most areas of Christchurch
as well as Oamaru, with the
product range including
everything from medicinal
items through to home care
and personal care products,
and spices for cooking.
“Rawleighs is a tried and
trusted name that has
been in the market for
over 100 years. Their
products are all
top quality, and
they really work,”
Fiona says.
“They are
reasonably
priced too, and
they last for years.”
Customers are
invited to call round to
see the full range of products
on display and available for
purchase at Fiona’s home.
She also has catalogues for
customers to take home for
future reference. Her address
is 283 Woolridge Road,
Bishopdale, phone 550 1544, or
022 086 7300.
Now available in Christchurch and surrounding areas!
