Elemoni Moana (who attends Whangarei Boys High School) is currently undertaking work experience at the United Civil Construction Kamo Bypass Site. Elemoni elected to be part of the Youth into Industry programme to gain practical experience that will help in his target of gaining a mechanical apprenticeship once he leaves school.
While taking part in the Youth into Industry programme Elemoni has learnt to demonstrate knowledge of workplace health and safety, the ability to work safely at sites under temporary traffic management and operate a plate compactor on civil construction materials. Elemoni has enjoyed having the opportunity to learn how to complete prestart checks and operate heavy machinery including diggers, rollers, loaders and plate compactors
