Shout out to Fatima, one of our most recent additions to the Trade School Kitchen team. Fatima, a Naenae girl through and through, brings her heart for the community and passion for social justice to everything she does. Fatima came to us for work experience through Youth Inspire and is now employed with us part time. Check out Fatima’s articulate and passionate interview on RNZ ‘s Checkpoint, discussing Aotearoa’s alarming youth unemployment problem: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/checkpoint/audio/2019058610/young-people-struggling-to-find-full-time-work-as-unemployment-grows. Fatima has a degree in health promotion, but after struggling to find full time work, has resorted to doing more university study in the hopes of securing a teaching job. Times are tough for everyone, especially our young people. Make sure to get out and vote, with people like Fatima in mind!

A big shout out to Robynn Robynn Awatere and Fatima for their incredible teamwork, positivity and warmth. Both wāhine came to us for work experience and impressed us so much with their attitudes and desire to learn they landed permanent jobs at Trade School Kitchen. Today, it was busy. We were down a team member due to sickness. But these two just bring such light and positivity you couldn’t even tell! Thanks team for being exactly who you are!

Saying “see you soon” to the wonderful, extraordinary, and talented Karolina Murray as she goes off on maternity leave. We are so excited to meet the new addition to Pomare and Karolina’s whānau but we are also going to miss Karolina at work!! We had a lovely evening stuffing our faces with good kai, listening to the tamariki hoon around being taniwha screaming and laughing at the top of their lungs. Sadly not all of the team could make it this evening, but that just meant more tacos for the rest of us! Blessings upon you Karolina Murray we love you and are looking forward to meeting baby soon!
