Training for You has a new employment co-ordinator and her wish is to see students heading to jobs they enjoy as much as she likes hers.
Doreen Barns has recently returned to Wanganui after living in South Canterbury for two years to be with her children and grandchildren.
"I am very passionate about this work. I look forward to getting up each day and coming here, and I want the learners to find work they feel that way about too."
Mrs Barns has long experience in training and work placement having worked for Trade and Commerce Wanganui as a trainer and assessor for 10 years.
"It is a wonderful feeling to find a work placement that enables a learner to experience their passion although sometimes the experience leads a student to discover that the reality doesn't match the expectation."
