Opportunities for Students

There's something special about working in local government. You have the opportunity to make a valued contribution to your community and a real difference in people’s lives.

Every year we offer a number of tertiary scholarships to Taranaki locals who are studying full-time in areas relevant to the work we do.

Scholarship recipients will have their course fees paid for by us and be provided with 10 weeks paid holiday work each year. Recipients then join our graduate work programme for two years after finishing their studies.

We usually award scholarships in the following areas:

Applied mathematics / statistics.
Civil engineering.
Curatorial studies.
Finance / accounting.
Geography.
Parks / landscape / recreation management.
IT / application development.
Library studies.
Planning.
Policy development.
Process engineering.
Software engineering.
Water and wastewater treatment.

Applications have closed for 2009. Our scholarship programme for 2010 has not yet been defined. If you have any questions, please email hr@npdc.govt.nz , phone us on 06-759 6060 or follow us on Facebook.
