Youth Worker Training
For the Central North Island
The Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) is a government agency that serves and connects people, communities and government to build safe and prosperous communities. Their investment is in the Youth Worker Training Scheme, which is provided to see the training and development of Youth Workers in the Central North Island (CNI). Through this partnership and delivery of this service by WACT the outcome is a level of improved competence and professionalism in youth work practice.
Given the impact and uncertainties due to COVID-19 in 2021/2022 the Youth Worker Training Scheme is currently being re-evaluated and the 2021/2022 year has been put on hold, but we are looking at re commencing in July 2022. Historically the Youth Worker Training Scheme workshops have been delivered kanohi ki te kanohi, and we must take the time to effectively establish how this will look going forward. We appreciate your understanding while we take the time required to effectively meet the needs of all the Youth Workers in our Rohe.
