Late last year, Zeal was successful in receiving funding from ANZ Staff Foundation to extend Zeal Kapiti’s barista programme. This programme empowers young people to acquire valuable skills in barista training, supporting them in their future employment. It also facilitates a deeper and more meaningful connection between youth workers and the young people involved. As youth workers we see many young people struggling to find their feet after dropping out of school, unable to find jobs because of the lack of opportunities. Zeal’s range of skill development and work-readiness programmes provide young people with the necessary training, mentoring and support to thrive in a work environment.
Thanks to ANZ Staff Foundation's support, Zeal Kāpiti has been able to extend opportunities to a greater number of young people.
Running the barista programme here at Zeal Kāpiti provides young people with real-world skills that increase confidence and self-worth while giving them a greater chance of employment. Receiving funding from organisations like ANZ is amazing and means we can continue to provide this important course for our local young people.
