Estimated Time: 15 - 20 Hours Over 1 - 3 Weeks
A researcher is required for a short research project to assist with adapting Australian guidelines for employers to a NZ context. A new guide is being developed to help New Zealand employers recruit jobseekers from refugee backgrounds and we need a volunteer researcher to help with this project. You help will be invaluable! The project is a collaboration between not-for-profit HOST International NZ and the Centre for Centre for Refugee Employment, Advocacy, Training and Education (CREATE) at Australia’s Deakin University, and partners at Monash University and Australian National University. HOST International NZ and CREATE have recently formed a partnership with the aim to help people with refugee backgrounds settle more effectively into their lives.
