Ara is connecting South Auckland communities with businesses working at and around Auckland Airport to fill the thousands of jobs needed to build and run ‘the airport of the future’ over the next 30 years.
We also work with employers and training providers to identify training needs and connect people with courses to meet those needs.
"We want South Aucklanders to make the most of these wonderful job opportunities that are happening on their doorstep."
