4. Land that dream job

Manawatū is a hub for career opportunities, and landing your dream job here is easier than you might think. Take Karis Evans, for example – she achieved her dream job not once but twice here in Manawatū. First, as the Art Centre Manager for the Feilding and District Art Society, she lived out a cherished dream. Then, with a mix of fate, skills, and determination, she transitioned to her current role as Heritage Curator at Te Manawa, a stroke of luck she couldn't quite believe. In Manawatū, your dream career is within reach.
