CSBEC also runs an employment placement service under contract with Work and Income to assist long-term unemployed entering into the labour market. Community is important to us and CSBEC acts as an umbrella and support organisation to many not-for-profit organisations. We have been involved in many local economic development projects ranging from forestry initiatives, Maori tourism, Canterbury labour needs analysis to environmental products and export marketing.
