Kiwis deserve better, which is why we’re fighting for power affordability for all of us. But we can’t do it alone.

Join us in the Revolt to bring power prices down, by signing the petition to demand that the Government reforms NZ’s broken electricity market. #Powergate ✊🏾 ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽

Personal Development teaches how to control our mindset to improve our present & future. No matter the curve ball that comes our way we have choice always - to get bitter or get better.

Getting better involves focusing on stuff that ultimately will improve us, not downgrade us. Looking for silver linings, gifts & lessons in unexpected events. Focusing on what we are grateful for many times a day - I love this one - I am grateful for every single cell in my body that so competently keeps me alive & functioning.

Low levels of digital literacy among staff is a challenge facing many manufacturing businesses, and strengthening those skills is not only essential to meet rapid technological changes in the workplace, it’s vital to increasing productivity.

Competenz has recently launched a new micro-credential to improve the level of digital literacy in the manufacturing sector.

"With an aging workforce it’s imperative we enable companies to keep their tradesmen and craftsmen,” says Jahn Vannisselroy, Competenz Sector Manager. “This micro-credential, which we can tailor to a specific company, is giving people the confidence to meet technology head-on.”

The qualification is fully funded under the government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) for employers who enrol their staff before 31 December 2022.

A doubling of house prices coupled with an influx of new residents means a previously stagnating Dunedin has to prepare for growing pains.

A council report notes the city's population was growing at a faster rate than it had historically, driven largely by domestic and international migration.

Dear neighbours,

Please meet Alyce Read of Nelson, who uses her houseplant collection to connect with others and help them overcome mental health challenges. "You wouldn’t take a plant and put it in a dark corner and fail to water it and expect it to thrive. So we should look at ourselves that way," she says. "If we are not thriving in the way that we would wish, it might not be any fault of ours, it might be the conditions that we are under."
