For Casey Aranui, training rangatahi is all about giving back.
The qualified builder had a late start to launching her carpentry career. “We bought the worst house on the best street in Taradale, and I was at home on maternity leave. With the house needing so much work, signing up for a carpentry course made sense. I was a 28-year-old mature student and had never thought about being a builder. But it all fell into place, and I loved it.”
Casey has been in the trade for 10 years and enjoys the opportunity to give to the industry by sharing the skills she has learned and helping to train others.
She is thrilled to be working in Wairoa and helping repair whānau homes and train rangatahi.
