We bring young overseas workers in to New Zealand, send young Kiwis workers abroad, and work with partners and hosts to ensure safety and comfort. 

RENZ works with a large network of co-operating partners in many countries, all engaged in a similar activity -  that of making it possible for young people to broaden their horizons through overseas experiences.

We work closely with our partners to:

  • Screen suitable trainees and hosts
  • ​Find and organise work placements
  • Provide access to the Government-approved work permits
  • Assist with documentation for issue of visas 
  • Ensure Government-required medical insurance regulations are complied with
  • Co-ordinate airport arrival pickups, initial accommodation if necessary, and internal transport to host farms
  • Liaise with hosts and trainees during placements
  • Provide counselling and back-up in case of problems
  • Organise social opportunities for trainees to socialise, and encourage inter-action and relationship building between trainees in order to foster international friendships and co-operation
