Limited Service Volunteer (LSV)

Hire an LSV graduate ready to work and succeed.

What is it?

Limited Service Volunteer (LSV) is a live-in training course run in partnership with New Zealand Defence Force for 18-24 year olds.

The six-week program builds confidence, life skills and a willingness to learn and grow in their future workplace.

Why hire a LSV graduate?

LSV graduates:

are motivated
are self-disciplined
value teamwork, and
have respect for others.

Young people volunteer to take part in LSV. They learn new skills and get to know more about who they are, what they want to do and what it takes to get there.

When they graduate, they’re ready to work, learn and want to make a positive contribution to your business. As an employer you’ll be supporting LSV graduates and your community.

Meet the LSV trainees

LSV courses are held in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch and offer the opportunity to meet the trainees and see first-hand what motivates them to get a job and succeed. Employer expos are also held, giving your business the chance to recruit an LSV graduate directly.
