Our Programmes
Throughout the year, ACET offers a range of activities geared at satisfying community needs and fostering connections with others who share our living spaces.
Equip job seekers with required skills and knowledge to compete in the NZ job market and gain valuable working experience through internship, and support employers to find potential full time employees who are well prepared and can fit well into their company.
Provide young people with practical and customised trainings to improve their wellbeing through developing personal interests and skills, understanding their background, strengthening their own identity, building a sense of belonging in NZ and connecting to the community. Support young people to achieve The Duke of Edinburgh's Hillary Award.
Cultivate environmental awareness in the community through learning how to appreciate, protect and minimise damage to our environment, and guide people how to maintain a mentally and physically healthy life.

The Asian community, especially the Chinese community has historically not been able to take advantage of this valuable opportunity and is almost reluctant to try the sport due to assumptions such as strong physical contact and high ratio of non Asian players. Therefore, it is key to attempt to overcome these barriers to ensure Asian people are equally presented within the sport.
This programme mainly focuses on providing a more exclusive environment for Asian people who have little prior knowledge to the sport to have a go under the supervision of specialized coaches, with simplified rules and non contact version of the sport to teach the fundamentals and the spirit of the sport, increasing their fitness and confident in this field.
