Trades careers are for people with smarts who want to do practical and useful work, who want to get financially set up without a loan hanging over their heads and who want to have heaps of options for the future.

Got a trade? Got it made! is a collaborative campaign owned by Industry Training Organisations in New Zealand. The campaign exists to re-position trade careers in the minds of 12-20 year olds and their influencers (parents, principals, teachers and careers advisers).

12 – 16 YEAR OLDS
There are heaps of trade jobs that are always in demand. The people doing these jobs make New Zealand work and grow. You can even turn your hobby into a great career and own your own business one day.

16 – 24 YEAR OLDS

PARENTS
Tradespeople are always in demand. This is a great career option for your child.
