ABOUT US
The Port Employment Precinct Whanganui is a not-for-profit entity that facilitates and champions education, training, and support for improving employment opportunities in Whanganui.
Governed by Whanganui District Employment and Training Trust (WDETT), the Port Employment Precinct proactively collaborates with regional training organisations, business and community support entities, schools, local and central government, industry, and our diverse community.
Supported by a significant Government investment managed by the Provincial Development Unit, the revitalisation of Whanganui's historic Riverport located at the mouth of Whanganui River represents an opportunity for more business, and ultimately more employment.
As Whanganui grows in population and gains access to new business prospects, our purpose is to champion local people's skills pathways contributing to meaningful and sustainable employment.
