Kōrero Mahi seminars - what to expect

09 May 2024.

When you start getting the Jobseeker Support benefit to help support you while you're looking for a job, you'll need to attend a Kōrero Mahi – Let's Talk Work seminar. This is so we can give you all the support and training you'll need to get a job.

If you're able to work, you'll be booked into a Kōrero Mahi – Let's Talk Work seminar by your case manager. You'll need to attend a seminar within the first two weeks of getting Jobseeker payments.

The Kōrero Mahi – Let's Talk Work seminars are held in groups and in person, with up to 15 other job seekers and Work and Income case managers and work brokers at your local Work and Income service centre. After a short presentation to you all, outlining what support is available, the Work and Income team will talk to you individually about your job search.

The seminars have already helped some job seekers to get a job, others are booked into training. Everyone gets help with updating their CV and finding out where to look for jobs.

The seminars take about an hour.
