Bid to get jobless work
PA Wellington The Wellington District Maori Council is pioneering a move to get jobless young people into permanent cooperative work ventures. The council has employed a work development coordinator on a three-year contract after the Internal Affairs Department approved a $20,000-a-year grant to cover salary and overheads. An Internal Affairs advisory officer, Mr Denis O’Reilly, said that the programme aimed to help the
large numbers of unemployed people who had gone through training schemes but had no work after. He said that 25 work development co-ordinators were working throughout New Zealand, but this was the first time an appointment had been made under the umbrella of a Maori council. The appointee would coordinate the activities of the 13 Maori committees and two marae committees in the region and would report regularly to the district council.
