Through the Taumarunui High School, part of the curriculum is to take on an internship.

This internship involves working with a business or either a local community group to learn how they do things.

We were both excited to take on this challenge thinking the Taumarunui Youth and Community Trust would be a great place to take on an internship.  We both approached Amy Perez to see if she would consider having us under her wing.

This has been such a great experience for us both already.  We have over this time covered things such as:

• Finance - shown how to deposit money

  • Basics of accounting software

• Behind the scenes of setting up an event

  • Understanding what goes on to run an event

  • Draws development

  • Event setup

  • Gear required for events

  • Food preparation for events - Food Licence

  • Post-event evaluation

• Equipment upkeep / maintenance / labelling

• Stocktake

• Funding application overview

• Filing

• Website upkeep

• Poster development

• Social media communications

This has been a great opportunity for us both this far and the part we enjoy the most is helping out at the events.
