On Tuesday, speaker Sergeant Tai Benedicio met with many interested students one-on-one, presented to our Vocational Pathways classes, and presented at our lunchtime Kawhe Kōrero session: introducing over 100 different roles available within the Defence Force, many of which offer paid internships (and are available to apply for now)! Sergeant Detective Alex Lawton and Sergeant Lylee Norriss were also hugely popular with our students.
