Youth Training

Manukau Campus

Join the tribe and get ready to experience something truly awesome!

Our Youth courses are designed to help you kickstart your journey towards confidence, wellbeing, and personal growth. And the best part? It’s not like school! You won’t be stuck in a classroom all day – for a start we only meet for 4 days a week.

We believe that working together in a whānau-like environment is the best way to achieve your goals. You’ll make new friendships and have a chance to give back to the community around us through field trips and volunteer work.

Our courses will challenge you and provide you with new ideas and experiences that will help you make positive changes in your life. Whether you’re looking to build your confidence, develop new skills, or explore different pathways for your future, we’ve got you covered. Join us today and let’s grow together!

"I want to inspire young people to make the right decisions and aim higher. The recruitment process is very demanding so I was grateful for all the support MSL gave me."

"My experience with MSL was great. They taught me proper practices of good customer service, building relationships and being professional. For me it was like a second home."

"For me, MSL is the best place to study. The tutors and staff are really friendly. I felt supported which helped me to learn and improve my confidence."

"Everything they taught me during the course challenged me. It taught me a lot about communication & being respectful, I couldn't have got the job I did without MSL."

“I loved MSL so much more than school. They started me on a path that hopefully leads to me running my own cafe one day”
