The Get-Go Initiative aims to empower young talent and bridge the gap between education and work. Get-Go co-ordinates employers to conduct mock/practice job interviews at Waiopehu College. In the 5 minute ‘snapshot’ interview session the students were able to ask questions and gain feedback, and insights, all helping them prepare for the professional world.
This session was conducted by various industry employers. This is just one way of shaping a future where every student is equipped with the skills and confidence to succeed after their College years.

These interactions provide students with insights into the professional world, offering guidance on potential career paths, industry trends, and the skills and qualifications needed to succeed.
These conversations also allow students to network, build connections with potential local future employers, and gain a better understanding of the real-world expectations in their chosen fields, ultimately enhancing their career readiness and prospects.
