52821 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety: What is the projected number of graduate roles, if any, that will be offered across the Minister’s departments, agencies, Crown entities, and any other bodies for which the Minister is responsible, as at 1 June 2026?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I am advised that WorkSafe New Zealand does not have a graduate programme, but it does employ graduates from time to time as part of the normal recruitment process. While WorkSafe may recruit graduates to vacancies between now and 1 June 2026, it would not be as part of a projected number of graduates.
