Mission Statement

A community-managed place of learning, administered in the spirit of the Treaty partnership, providing quality training for the workplace.

HLC's prime purpose is to provide a secure learning environment in which people can acquire the skills and knowledge they need and want to improve their opportunities in the work environment.

HLC began in 1984 as a training centre for the youth, but has now broadened its focus, so that today we provide a very diverse range of vocational courses, and other one-on-one services to unemployed people of all ages.

In addition to its general employment skills for youth (AIL), HLC offers:

• Work and Income funded and fee paying courses in Hospitality, Caregiving, Security and Train for Work.
• Services to people identified with a disability, both a National Certificate course and employment with appropriate support.
• On the job training to people who just want to get into work rather than attend a campus based course.
• Workplace Literacy training in the Horowhenua and Kapiti regions.
