Tradestaff Training

In 2002 Tradestaff recognised a need for New Zealand businesses to provide an additional contribution to the workforce by providing a fully integrated training and learning environment.

Tradestaff also recognised the difficulties that some organisations experience in providing a structured trade training program which led to the establishment of "Tradestaff Training" part of the Tradestaff Group of Companies.

In October 2007, Tradestaff Training became registered as a Private Training Establishment (PTE) by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority under the provisions of the Education Act 1989 and its subsequent amendments.

Former Tradestaff temp wins award

Rangi Ohlson began working for Tradestaff in late 2006 and quickly established herself as a reliable, hard working and committed employee. Rangi was always quick to jump on board and always did a great job in representing Tradestaff. So it was not surprising when Rangi was offered a full time position with Rotorua Dry Cleaners, an Apparelmaster franchise, in early 2008.

In just 14 months of working for Rotorua Dry Cleaners, Rangi has gone from little experience in dry cleaning to becoming one of the companies most valued employees. This culminated in Rangi being nominated for, and subsequently winning, the prestigious award of “Up and Coming Employee of the Year”.
