 Down on the farm, there's cows, down on the farm, there's chickens, down on the farm, there's tickles, down on the farm, there's trucks, down on the farm, there's paperwork, down on the farm, there's girls, there's no girls down on the farm. Bro, there's at least one girl on the farm. We're going to the farm, we're going to the farm. Hey Beastie. Yeah? I'm thinking, a career after school. We need a plan. Okay, so let's do it. Hello, my name is Izzie. Hello. What is it that you do out here on this farm? So I'm a Ngātou dairy assistant. My daily job is to sort of get cows in, put up fences, measure grass. What skills and qualifications do you need for that job? I'm doing my level four at the moment through RTO, and so I've done when I could, which is an early based initiative to get young people through into agriculture. We've heard a few rumours about how passionate you are about your job. Oh yeah, so I like cows. There's nothing I lie. I get a photo of the cows and take selfies with them, or be very soft when they're being a bit noisy. So you give them a couple names, and I've got Mertha, and Mertha up in the shed. Margaret, and you know. Is there a chance we could have a look around with sweet ass? Kia ora. How is he talking? Kia ora. So clear. What is it that you do? So I'm the general manager of people and development for Ngātahu Farming. We're in Te Whinawhā, where we have seven dairy farms. What qualifications do you need for a job like this? So for me, I studied a bachelor's degree majoring in HR. Is whanāngatanga portrayed in your job at all? Absolutely. We're a whānau-based organisation. We have some really awesome benefits for our staff. A lot of our policies and initiatives are all around whānau, natanga, and whānau. Ngā mihikiā, quickly. It was awesome speaking to you. Kia ora. Thank you so much. Kia ora. My name is Kela. Hi, Kela. Is Māori tanga portrayed in your job? Yes, it is. Yeah, it's whānau-based business. And it's one of the key values amongst the whole business as a whole. Even though we're in the development team, we're still all Ngātahu farming, which is Ngātahu iwi. So I think those same values go right across the whole company. Kia ora. Kauzi, Prasātua, Kwengua. Kia ora. So what is it that you do, Chris? I manage this farm that we're on today, mate. So I'm in full charge of Waimakaleri, my farm's called. And then I run 900 kiazi, over 310 hectare farm that I look after. I've got full staff. So for looking for people to employ, what do you specifically look at? Looking at someone to employ, mate. If I'm going for a 2IC, I'm going for a lot of qualifications in a few years behind them in the industry. Seeing, yeah, I'll be looking at them a little less differently. I suppose I'll go for a couple years in the industry and maybe a level 3, level 4 qualification. My junior, I just wanted to get out of bed on time. For rangatahi, what specific attributes would you be looking for? For rangatahi. It's mainly the drive and the passion for the industry. If you've got a hint of maybe you like to look around cows, working outside and things like that. So for me, it's mainly if you've got a drive for animals or for working outside and just get away from that factory sort of thing. Could we have an example of your definition of drive? So when I hired my first year farmer this year, my junior, Liam. Liam was the first one out of that van asking questions about the farm where there was a couple of them that will be in the backseat saying, oh, don't pick me. Don't choose me. You know what I mean? So that guy that was first out of the van, what's this doing? What are those cows up to? You know what I mean? To me, he's got a bit of drive. Mate, if you're going to be the first one out of that van, I'm pretty sure you're going to be the first of my job on the day. Now, I don't know about you guys, man, but fresh milk's the best. I'll take you around to the back silo and we'll go get something. Do you like to milk your cow? Oh, sure. Today's your lucky day. Carry on another 800 for you, everyone. So let's recap what we just learned. Down on the farm. Down on the farm. Down on the farm. Get the qualifications you need for the job. Get out of bed on time. Prove you're passionate. Ask questions. Be the first one out of the van. Show your keen. It's good to try something different. Make sure you check out our other awesome industry videos on the Maya website.
