Earn as You Learn Launches in Canterbury | Christchurch News

A new “Earn as You Learn” program is launching in Canterbury, letting young people get paid while gaining real manufacturing qualifications—this is the first rollout on the South Island. Six local manufacturers are partnering with Ara Institute to train up to 20 students through hands-on rotations, exposing them to robotics, design, and global manufacturing. Designed to bridge the gap between education and industry needs, it’s expanding from the Waikato and aims to fuel Canterbury’s growing aerospace and healthtech sectors. An open day is coming up on October 17th at HamiltonJet—perfect for students and parents to explore this career pathway.
