What you'll learn

In Taku Haerenga 4, we’ll help you think about your career in new ways and develop your job-seeking skills.

Your course is divided into four modules.

1. Where am I heading now?

In ‘Where am I heading now?’ you’ll look back on your year just ended, think about the experiences you’ve had and what new qualities, skills and knowledge these experiences gave you. Then you’ll think about careers – what you’re interested in, what you want and need from a job and what preparation you might need to do to get into a career you’re interested in.

2. Me as a jobseeker

In ‘Me as a job seeker’ you’ll look at the job-searching and application processes so that, when you find a job you like the look of, you know exactly what to do and have every chance of success. This will include how to write an awesome covering letter to go with your application.

3. Learning when school is over
