James is 45 and has worked as a builder for 20 years. He enjoys mentoring apprentices on the worksite. Due to an injury, he is no longer able to work on the tools. He has seen a Te Pūkenga Facebook post seeking qualified tradespeople who can transfer their skills to the teaching environment. This is the first job James has applied for in 20 years and he is anxious about the recruitment process.
