What is LSV?
The Limited Service Volunteer (LSV) programme is a six week residential course for young people aged from 17 to 25 years. It is funded by the Ministry of Social Development, run by New Zealand Defence Force and supported by New Zealand Police.
Young people who attend come from all walks of life but have a common goal – they want to work. The course prepares them for the workforce and for life.
There are no other courses for young people that can do all this.
Young people graduating from LSV can offer:
- a positive attitude
- self discipline
- a strong desire to work
- teamwork skills
- respect for others
- a responsible outlook
- confidence in themselves.
Employing an LSV graduate will give you a head start
Young people choose to take part in the LSV programme – they commit to six challenging weeks to help better prepare themselves for the work place.
The course provides participants the opportunity to think about their life, their future and the kind of work they would like to do.
Graduates have First Aid training, financial and budgeting skills and a report on their achievements.
LSV graduates are working successfully in retail, hospitality, construction, farming, forestry, fishing, tourism, call centres and in the Defence Forces.
