Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Housing): Our Government has not only added over 10,000 new public housing places since 2017 but we've also launched Kāinga Ora's apprenticeship programme. Since 2019, 333 people have entered into cadetships and apprenticeships with our build partners and subcontractors across the State housing programme. This programme actively recruits more women, Māori, and Pasifika, as well as Kāinga Ora tenants, into apprenticeships. Additionally, through our ramped up maintenance programme, a further 384 apprentices and cadets are learning valuable trade skills while carrying out maintenance on State homes. This has led to a total of over 700 young people who have learnt valuable construction skills through our build programme.
