Career Moves Trust Principles
At Career Moves Trust, we align our values and services with the Enabling Good Lives
principles. We apply these principles through:
Self-Determination – We believe every person should have choice, control, and
ownership over their employment journey. Our role is to walk alongside people – not to
take over.
Beginning Early – We believe early support creates stronger long-term outcomes. We
work alongside students, schools, and whānau to help young people build confidence,
direction, and work readiness before leaving education.
Person-Centred – We recognise that every person’s journey is different. We tailor our
support to the individual by understanding their strengths, goals, barriers, culture, and
support needs.
Ordinary Life Outcomes – We believe everybody deserves the opportunity to
experience meaningful employment, belonging, purpose, and connection within their
community.
Mainstream First – We support people to access opportunities within everyday
workplaces and communities wherever possible. We believe inclusion benefits
individuals, employers, and society as a whole.
Mana Enhancing – We are committed to treating every person with dignity, kindness,
empathy, and respect. We focus on strengths, potential, and possibilities while
supporting confidence and self-worth.
Easy to Use – We aim to make support feel accessible, clear, and approachable. We
break down overwhelming processes into manageable steps and walk alongside people
throughout their journey.
Relationship Building – We believe strong relationships create meaningful outcomes.
We work collaboratively with clients, whānau, schools, employers, and communities to
build trust, connection, and long-term success.
