We're excited to be calling for applications for Bay Conservation Cadets - Tauira Mahi, launching in January 2021.

The Bay Conservation Cadets - Tauira Mahi programme (BCC) is an employment, training and development programme which seeks to upskill unemployed, under-employed or those changing career pathways, whilst also delivering environmental and conservation
benefits. Cadets will have an employment contract and will receive training in multiple areas to enable a career path into the environmental sector and the many positions that Jobs for Nature and other programmes are providing.

BCC has a large experiential learning component where cadets will undertake work at a variety of sites, including those run by BCA members, private landowners and other partners. This will provide meaningful work experience with real environmental and conservation outcomes.
