The need for your support

The Auckland Airport precinct is one of New Zealand’s largest employment hubs, with thousands of opportunities across aviation, logistics, construction, retail, hospitality, and services.

And right next door, minutes away, is a community unlike any other in New Zealand. Young. Diverse. Resilient. Full of real ambition, talent and the determination to build something better for themselves and their whānau. People with the skills and drive to move forward when doors open.

Every year, Ara supports local people looking for a pathway into work, training, and long-term career progression. But demand for support continues to grow.

Opportunity exists right next door. With your support, more people can access it.
