Tupu Aotearoa (PESS) Wellington Metropolitan

Tupu Aotearoa (Pacific Employment Support Service) is a key intervention that has been proven to effectively assist Pacific young people to achieve sustainable employment and undertake further training to increase their skills and qualifications.

The Ministry for Pacific Peoples is seeking providers with proven experience in providing successful employment placement and/or training placement services. Providers may propose to deliver either or both services. They should have the ability to provide a service that addresses client’s individual needs and circumstances in order to support clients to move into sustainable employment as quickly as possible and/or complete a qualification in an approved course of study. This RFP relates to the delivery of services in the Wellington Metropolitan area.

The successful providers will have a good understanding of the barriers to employment that Pacific young people face, good employer networks, strong relationships with Pacific organisations in the community that can help provide further support to clients as they enter and remain in employment, and the ability to provide ongoing direct support to clients to achieve sustainable employment. Also, the successful providers for training placement services will have a good understanding of the barriers to ongoing education that Pacific young people face, good external training provider networks and strong relationships with Pacific organisations in the community that can help provide further support to clients as they enter and complete an approved course of study and the ability to provide ongoing direct support to clients to achieve training qualifications.
