FREE FEES – DIPLOMA IN SMALL BUSINESS AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Brett from Papamoa Beach

FREE FEES – DIPLOMA IN SMALL BUSINESS AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Have you recently opened your own small business and want free professional training and mentoring to help maximise your business, or are an existing business owner wanting to upskill and get some valuable professional development at no cost?

I have recently formed my own company, and have enrolled in the NZQA-approved New Zealand Diploma in Business (Small Business and Project Management) (Level 5) at Te Wananga o Aoteroa’s new Tauranga campus.
Unfortunately the FREE 2019 course was supposed to start mid February, but has been delayed as they NEED ABOUT ANOTHER 10 ENROLMENTS before they can start!
If you are interested, enquire at the Wananga now, or share with a business-owning friend you think might benefit from the opportunity.
I'm not affiliated with Te Wananga o Aotearoa in any way, but am letting people know of this opportunity so that we can get the course started. As soon as TWoA have the numbers, the 2019 course will start!

Its a 36-week programme (Feb-Nov), open to students who have their own business, and is FEES FREE, making it perfect for small business owners who are operating on a tight budget. Because students are running their own businesses, the course is mainly undertaken through self study in your own time, but does includes a weekly 3-hour block of on-campus classroom study, conveniently held during one evening each week. (The TWoA campus is behind the Tauranga Hospital, next to the Historic Village).

Learn new skills and progress your business at the same time. You’ll carry out THREE different projects to grow your business – a marketing project, an operations project and a project of your choice – plus get 18 hours of FREE ONE-ON-ONE BUSINESS MENTORING to help speed up your learning.
You'll learn:
• How to identify business goals
• How to create detailed project plans
• How to research and analyse information
• How to identify business opportunities
• Project planning and delivery
• How to prioritise tasks
• Budgeting and financial management
• Business risk analysis
• Sales and marketing
• Business operation
• How to achieve your project goals
• Innovation and change
• How to review, evaluate and report on performance.
• Project presentation and review.
You'll graduate with academic and practical knowledge to run a business. Plus you'll have three completed projects to show your ability to manage projects successfully, and have received professional mentoring.
I’m keen to crack on with this, but Te Wananga O Aotearoa needs more enrolments before they the programme can start, so contact them asap if you are keen. Telephone 07-571 8524, or check out the website:

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
