VIDEO - Van subsidy brings workers to mahi

The Mayor’s Taskforce for Jobs has used funds received from central government to help orchard workers get to work safely and on time all year round.

The Mayor’s Taskforce for Jobs has used funds received from central government to help orchard workers get to work safely and on time.

Kaimahi North is an employment initiative set up by orchard owner Louise Peters to enable workers from around the district to work in the horticulture industry.
