Moxie
MOXIE stands for Meaningful
Opportunities X’ing Into
Employment.
MOXIE is a series of projects that provide
meaningful work experience that you could get
involved with! MOXIE has two distinct offerings:
Internal MOXIE
programmes are led by
Recreate NZ facilitators
and are designed to grow
soft and hard skills for the
workplace.
When the young person expresses interest in pursuing paid
employment, we can provide placement opportunities through
our external MOXIE programmes. We ensure young people
are given the opportunity to showcase their skills over a period
of time, therefore eliminating existing misconceptions around
disability.
Within the education stream at Recreate NZ, our expectation
is that young people develop skills in order to progress through
to other opportunities. Over the coming year we will be
developing an outcomes tool to track the growth of individuals
through MOXIE programmes. This will help ensure achievements
are celebrated and people are moving on to other challenges as
MOXIE skills are accomplished. We love to see trainees continue
development in other areas of their lives, as well as new young
people coming through to give MOXIE opportunities a go.
To cater to the need for mid-week social connections, we
have created Life Skills Social Club (see above left). This full
day offering is for young people to continue learning through
creative and social means.
If you wish to express interest or want more information, please
get in touch with us at moxie@recreate.org.nz
MOXIE Work Placements
As mentioned in the MOXIE introduction to
the left, we are working with employers and
potential employers to create a shared vision of success for our young people. This is done through a step-by-step process, with hands on support from Recreate NZ.
At the end of the formal work placement, the intention is for the
young person to gain permanent, part-time employment. We have
seen great success in the past few years, and we are very keen to
keep growing this exciting and dynamic stream of Recreate.
Please note: we cannot guarantee immediate work placements.
MOXIE training is arranged with employers as opportunities arise.
Placements are then matched with appropriate trainees based on
interests, skill, location, and shift times. We will do our best to find
work for all who are interested, but suggest you continue your own
investigations too.
If you have completed other Recreate programmes and believe you’re ready for paid employment, please express your interest to Josephine Siggaard by emailing moxie@recreate.org.nz.
Life Skills Full Course
Thursdays, 27th July – 21st of September (9 weeks)
