Cadets &
Pre-Apprentices

Here at City Care, a great attitude and career ambition are a winning combination. Which is why we’ve got hands-on training and development programmes for people who really want to develop their career.

Cadets

The Pre Apprentice Work Skills Programme is our Christchurch based “earn as you learn” initiative providing young people (16 – 25) with the opportunity to experience the varied career paths available in the infrastructure industry.  Pre Apprentices develop valuable life skills and work ethic while also completing a Level 2 New Zealand Certificate in Infrastructure Works that will set them up for a rewarding and lifelong career.

Our Civil Construction Cadet Programme is a two to three year course offering cadets paid work experience across a variety of projects. With the opportunity to work alongside managers and supervisors within different disciplines, our cadets can continue to grow their construction skills with the chance to take on junior site engineering, further specialisation, or an operation role upon completion of the programme. You can find out more about the Cadet Programme here.
