Lera likes working in a team and just wants to get along with everyone. Hearing about tunnelling got him interested in working in infrastructure. He doesn’t mind getting dirty and wants to start earning money to help his mum out. As a new Dad Lera can’t believe how much he loves his son.
Lera was placed with City Care for his work experience and was inspired by building and construction from when he was at school.

Lera cant contain his excitement for his four weeks paid work experience with City Care Ltd!!
BuildAKL would like to wish all of the awesome #BuildAKL competition winners the very best of luck on the first day of their 4 week paid work experience!

Lera's been hard at work this week getting in to the Western Leader paper and working in the sun on site with his City Care team. Do you want to work on site? Like the #BuildAKL page and check out the jobs here #BuildAKL

Lera's LOVING his time with City Care Ltd! Even though he's been helping with the smelly side of the industry! "I unblocked the rubbish in the manholes and wore extra overalls just in case of a poo spillage...I learnt no matter how crappy the job (no pun intended lol) its all about the hard work you put in it". #PooCoverage #BuildAKL

Where to go from here
Following his placement Lera believed he wasn’t ready yet for full time employment and felt that he needed to do more study. He is currently completing a course in retail management.
