“As technology progresses and we move further into Industry 4.0, workers must be upskilled to keep pace with new systems and processes, especially older employees who are not digital natives, but who have invaluable experience in their fields,” says Competenz Sector Manager Jahn Vannisselroy
Competenz has developed a new micro-credential to meet the demands brought about by Industry 4.0.
Hi there!
Here at Trade Me we're chuffed to let you know we’ve launched our Kindness Store again for winter, supporting KidsCan and the great work they do making sure our tamariki have a fair start – after all, little Kiwis can’t learn when they’re hungry, wet, and cold.

Here at Trade Me we're chuffed to let you know we’ve launched our Kindness Store again for winter, supporting KidsCan and the great work they do making sure our tamariki have a fair start – after all, little Kiwis can’t learn when they’re hungry, wet, and cold.
We’ve stocked the store with all the essentials. Think fleece-lined rain coats and shoes to keep kids warm and dry, and warm, healthy food.
Just pick, click, and give now – we take care of the rest, making sure your purchase gets to KidsCan.
Free grasses, up to 1.0m high. Have 30 plus being dug out today, as we redo our large garden area. They will need to be planted within a week or so - kept in the shade and watered. Please ring Heather 0276687717
The CBD mainly in Main Street is a mess and a disgrace to a town that is called a city.
But not all is lost.

But not all is lost.
For years I have been saying make the CBD a mix of retail and apartmental. In other words compact the shopping and bring people right into the precinct by accommodating them. Make it living instead of lifeless.
It seems this might yet happen.
The owners of the mall had plans to increase the size of the mall considerably. Thank goodness they have not as now the current mall is virtually filled at long last and any increase in size will remove what little is left of the outside and the CBD would become disfunctional.
I have pitched for a Jackson Street (Petone)- like operation for Main Street with the council chipping in to help (rates holidays) and encourage in improvements and converting buildings to accommodate apartments and soliciting free paint for building exterior upgrade and "group" benefits for renovations.
Tracy Bull is quoted in The Leader as saying she loves the CBD the way it is. Whew. I wouldn't be supporting her opinion.
Councillor, Paul Lambert didn't see the CBD being required much above "ordinary" when I last spoke to him about it but I think that included in the mix should be boutique type of shops that along with the other major retail players will help to attract the public from the southern Wairarapa to come and shop in Upper Hutt instead of travelling further south to Lower Hutt or further north to Masterton.

We’ve been working through a review of the residential and rural chapters of our District Plan to see how we might be able to accommodate more growth – it’s called Plan Change 50.
Before we go through a formal consultation process, we want to share our draft proposals with you and get your feedback, to improve the quality of our final proposal.
How do you you see the future? Feedback runs until 30 August.

The area is fast approaching the half way stage of its 700 dwellings. All are equipped with burglar alarms, secure door locks and security lights and some with cameras and some with dogs.
But determined, professional burglars seem able to overcome these obstacles. On their side are high fencing, double and triple glazed windows stifling sound, the demise of Neighbourhood Watch and the general lack of neighbours communicating with each other. The latter is a major issue and a reason could be something verging on cultural typicalities.
