Gin by name, gin by nature

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Not only is gin in the name for Sean Juniper, he’s hoping it will become his retirement plan too.

The North Canterbury man was born with the same last name as gin’s key ingredient. Ever since the spirit became a successful side hustle, he is asked repeatedly whether he has changed his name.

“I’m not that shallow,” he said.

“It’s the reason I am making gin. If my surname was Mead I’d probably be making mead.”

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.
