A New Year, a New Milestone Reached

Nelson kicks off the New Year by reaching yet another milestone. The total earnings from students gaining employment through the Student Job Search (SJS) service has now exceeded summer 05/06 by 38% increase a total of $754,990.00.

Nelson is strategically right on target gaining more skilled and longer duration positions. This season (beginning 1 October 2005) has seen SJS Nelson exceed targets, already reaching last years total seasons.

“While most of our employer’s will have taken on their staff before Christmas, we are preparing for yet another influx of jobs and students as the New Year ticks off. Students still have January and February free and many employers should take advantage of this to get the special projects completed” Employment Officer Kim Starnes comments.

Nelson Employers are amongst the most competitive nationally as they offer higher wages rates, longer duration and more skilled positions then any other smaller region. The average hourly rate has an increase of 9% in comparison to previous season.
