By hiring students you are helping New Zealand to grow

·         The students of today are the future wealth/GDP creators of New Zealand

 

“In order to grow New Zealand socially, politically, culturally and  economically, communities, businesses and government all need skilled people that are encouraged to put their skills to use in NZ. Investments made in students by individuals, communities, businesses and government benefit all New Zealander’s.

- Paul Kennedy, CEO, Student Job Search

·         SJS is a not for profit organisation focussed on helping students fund their students and gain valuable work experience

 

·         Less students are likely to drop out of studying if they have employment to fund their education

 

·         Now more than ever students are finding it hard to get work

 

·         If people have a tertiary qualification you are likely to earn 30% more than those without a school education.  If you have a Bachelor’s degree or higher you are likely to earn at least double of that of a school leaver with no qualifications.

Fisher & Paykel Finance, Auckland: 

"I hire students in their second or third year of business study because this gives me the opportunity to hire someone who is already interested in our field of work.  It's also a great opportunity to offer the student a permanent full-time role after they graduate"

- Shalini Chand, HR Manager

 

“SJS is the best as they have saved me financially many a time and they have provided me with ongoing income and clients for the work I do”

- Magnus Huber, SJS user - student
