MISSION STATEMENT

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

Horowhenua Learning Centre'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 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 course for youth, HLC offer’s TOPs (government-funded) and fee-paying courses in computing, business administration, hospitality and caregiving short pre-apprenticeship trade training (interior decorating, panelbeating and auto-refinishing), as a stepping stone to an apprenticeship services to people identifying with a disability, both a National Certificate course, and employment with appropriate support on-the-job training to trainees who just want to get into work (and earn some money!) rather than attending a campus-based course. To this end, we are a type of employment agency!
