Job seekers

If you are a Work and Income job seeker looking for work, let us find you another job in the construction industry or make a career change and become a Tradie.

Employers

If you are an employer looking for staff we offer a free recruitment service for tradies – experienced or entry level.

Work and Income job seekers

Kiwi Can Do recruit Work and Income job seekers from Auckland, Taranaki, Central and Wellington for our courses. We hold Construction trade courses where you can learn skills in Building, Painting, Plastering, Scaffolding and more, as well as Construction Labourer courses where you can gain your Wheels, Tracks & Rollers, Forklift Endorsements or Traffic Control Tickets.

New job seekers are recruited weekly and will start courses regularly, with the intake based on course and in region. Alongside being a registered job seeker, candidates must be able to pass a drug test.
