Northpower – Northpower cadetships and social procurement – building futures and strengthening communities

2025

Northpower's social procurement approach to training cadets and providing employment opportunities to people entering our industry is beneficial on many fronts. By partnering with Lines and Cables, a local training organisation, Northpower is successfully addressing a critical skills shortage in the electricity supply industry.  This collaboration is fostering local employment, enhancing training delivery, and supporting economic growth in Northland. The initiative aligns with Northpower's purpose of connecting communities and building futures, demonstrating the positive impact of strategic social procurement on both the organisation and the wider community.
