Hon CARMEL SEPULONI (Minister for Social Development and Employment): I'm pleased to share with the House that following our initial target of 150 placements in 2018-19, Mana in Mahi has now surpassed the 2,500 placement mark; 89 percent of those who are active or have completed or have exited early are not on benefit. There are currently 1,566 active participants, 45 percent of which are Māori and Pacific. Retention has been a main focus, with 76 percent remaining in the programme for 91 days or longer—1,480 employers have taken on participants they might not otherwise have trained. I'm encouraged by the steady progress that we're making through Mana in Mahi.
