- Soanna Neilsen, tutor

Perhaps you’re someone who aspires to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Soanna Neilsen

Training for the NZ Certificat­e in Health & Wellbeing Level 3 is just one of the courses the Horowhenua Learning Centre offers.

One of its past students, Soanna Neilsen, completed the course more than a decade ago in 2009.

Born and raised in Taitoko Levin, Soanna was interested in caregiving, but decided a qualificat­ion would be useful in getting a job.

She said the course is a very useful tool to have in your kete if you are already working in the sector and would like to upskill.

“Perhaps you’re someone who aspires to make a positive difference in the lives of others and wants to find work in an industry that needs dedicated workers.

“By completing this programme, you will not only gain valuable theoretica­l knowledge but also develop practical skills that will set you apart as a highly competent support worker,” she said.

After gaining work experience in the past 15 years she is now back at HLC — as a tutor.

“I am so grateful to be a part of the team at HLC to share my experience with students who are looking to upskill, improve and enhance their own knowledge and experience as caregivers/support workers. If you are interested don’t hesitate to come in and see me.

“My main goal is to support individual­s in their journey to become effective and compassion­ate caregivers, providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge to excel in this field. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in need.

“Don’t hesitate to reach out and take the first step towards your personal and profession­al growth. I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your goals.

“By completing this programme, you will not only gain valuable theoretica­l knowledge but also develop practical skills that will set you apart as a highly competent support worker.’’
