Skills Active celebrates 2021 graduates

Skills Active has congratulated all their certificate and apprenticeship graduates who completed qualifications in 2021 across the recreation, exercise, sport and performing arts sectors.

The Skills Active learners in sport, recreation and performing arts have navigated two very "choppy" years. These industries work face to face supporting their communities, and as such workplaces and learners have been heavily impacted by the restrictions and challenges brought about by COVID.

In spite of all this, they have done the work (mahi) and completed their on-job qualifications, getting their hands-on knowledge and experience recognised through formal vocational qualifications.

Their Skills Active qualifications reflect the fact that they are trained and skilled for the important work that they do - ensuring that Kiwi communities get the benefits of taking part in sport, exercise, recreation, performing arts and the outdoors.

Skills Active highlight that in these difficult and uncertain times, graduates across the sectors “are helping us to stay active and healthy, feel good, maintain our social connections and enrich our hearts and minds.

“We hope they will reflect back on their learning journeys and feel very proud of what they achieved in 2021. We also express our sincere thanks to all the managers, colleagues, friends and whānau who provided help, advice and encouragement along the way.

“Ka rawe to all our wonderful graduates and their support crews!”
