Get Work-Ready
At I’m In, we understand that everyone’s employment journey is unique. When re-entering the workforce after time away, we’re here to support you with a clear, tailored plan that fits your needs and goals.
When you join the programme, we match you with a dedicated member of our team who will be your personal guide and advocate. They’ll be your go-to contact, supporting you every step of the way, from navigating off a main government benefit to securing meaningful, sustainable employment.
Your journey starts with a personalised employment plan. We work closely with you to understand your strengths, identify any barriers, and set achievable goals. This plan becomes your roadmap, tailored specifically to help you move forward with confidence and purpose.
Get Interview-Ready,
with Practical, Hands-On Support
Interviews can be daunting, but we make sure you walk in ready.
We’ll work with you to craft a standout CV and a compelling cover letter that truly reflect your skills and story. If it suits you, we’ll also help you create a short video introduction, adding a personal touch that helps employers get to know you before meeting in person.
Our mock interview sessions give you the chance to practice answering common questions, receive constructive feedback, and build your confidence. We cover everything—from the best way to present yourself, to body language and managing nerves—so you can show up as your best self.
Connecting You With
Real Opportunities, Fast
Through our extensive network of trusted employers across Aotearoa, we connect you with businesses actively seeking talent. We take the time to understand your skills, experience, and aspirations, then match you with roles that suit you best. This connection not only fast-tracks your employment journey but also ensures you step into roles where you’re set up to succeed.
Our strong relationships with employers mean they value the quality and readiness of I’m In candidates - giving you a foot in the door with organisations committed to making it work.
Ongoing Support
Once You’re In Work
Getting hired is a milestone, but staying employed and growing is the real success.
That’s why our support continues for up to 182 days after you start your new job. We stay connected with you, providing regular check-ins and practical advice to help you settle in and overcome any early challenges. Whether it’s workplace adjustments, upskilling, or simply needing someone to talk to—we’re here.
We can also connect you to additional training opportunities, including short courses and licence support like Class 2 driving, to enhance your skills and open up more career pathways.
You’ve Got What It Takes.
We’ll Help You Show It.
No matter where you’re starting from, the I’m In programme is designed to get you ready, connected, and supported on your way to lasting employment.
With personalised coaching, access to real job opportunities, and a team who believes in your potential, you’re never alone in this journey.
