Currie Construction Open Day for rangatahi - Thursday, 27 November between 2pm - 3pm.

They’ve opened an awesome opportunity for our rangatahi to come along, get a feel for the industry, and see firsthand what these events are all about. There will be more employers in attendance too, which means it could be an employment/work experience opportunity and if any rangatahi brought a captivating CV along with them, I’m sure it wouldn’t go astray.

Email [email protected] if you are wanting to attend.
