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.

Sheep farming was established in New Zealand by the 1850s and has played an important role in the economy ever since. For several decades wool accounted for more than a third of New Zealand’s exports by value with the sheep population peaking at just over 70 million in 1982.
This number is significant when comparing it to New Zealand’s human population. By 2020, sheep numbers dropped to 26 million, following a decline in profitability compared to other types of farming, particularly dairying.
While also farmed for their meat, today’s article focuses on sheep wool and its environmental attributes.
Wool is a natural and renewable resource and as long as our beloved sheep are eating the tasty green pastures from New Zealand farms they will always produce wool. Wool has amazing properties that make it ideal for many applications from home textiles through to incontinence underwear.
At this point in time, cotton and synthetic fibres are the most commonly used and produced fibres globally, however their performance does not come close to wool, in particular the environmental benefits.
From wool to yarn: The wool clip (total yield of wool shorn during one season from the sheep) is sent to the scourers where the wool is cleaned and dried, and from there to a woollen spinner where the fibre is spun into yarn. The yarn is then sent on to the manufacturer of textile products where many different processes are involved.
The yarn is wound onto dye cones and dyed to the required colours. Next the yarn is warped onto beams. These warp beams are then threaded through the looms so that the weft yarn can run across the warp to create a woven fabric.
The fabric is then inspected and then washed and dried. Very few chemicals are used in the processing, typically only water and heat.

Kia ora! My friend came off her bike on Tuesday 3 August morning on Adelaide road/near Hall Street. A lovely couple took her bike home to Island Bay while she went to hospital. She would like to find them to say thank you! Please reply if you have any info.

"Hi there my name is Poe and I am a great pup looking for my forever home. I have not had the best start to life so would love a home that understands my quirks and is keen to help me through them. A home that has the patience and time to help me be the best companion I know I can be. I am super social so I could go a home with another playful dog that loves having a good tumble. I am not suited to a home with young children so would love a home with teenagers, who are keen to teach me new things and take me on adventures. Puppy school is something I am looking forward with my new family, learning things and making new friends. I do come with a medical waiver that my new home would need to be aware of. If you think you are the home for me please contact the canine team for more information."

Don’t wait for the next earthquake to shake you into action, get started now.

Ethos Energy strives to deliver the highest standard of advice and service whilst using the most efficient & reliable products.
We place the highest value on creating & maintaining long lasting relationships with our clients and our community for a more energy efficient future. Our mission is to support our community to grow and thrive.
We do this through our own work and by supporting programmes like Seedling Yoga for Schools (facebook.com/seedlingyoga) a locally designed social and emotional learning programme that uses the science of Yoga to support mentally, physically and emotionally healthy classrooms.
As we grow, our ability to help others grows.
What’s Your Ethos Towards Energy?
The cost of energy is one of the biggest costs for homes, schools and business. From our research, most buildings waste energy from using outdated, inefficient technology.
Heat Pumps and Ducted System.
Efficent Heating is a big issue for home owners. Heat Pumps Systems is one of the most efficient ways to heat your home and business.
In some cases, up to 500% more efficient.
We hate the idea of you waiting in the cold for your heat pump installation which is why we endeavour to keep your wait time to 10 working days or less. This is so important to us that if we can’t keep this promise we offer a 10% discount on your install.
Heat Energy Recovery.
Do you have unbalanced heat across your property? Crying windows? Stuffy offices or /classroom with no fresh air?
The best way to improve the air quality in a home, business or school without losing heat is to use a Balanced Pressure Heat Recovery Ventilation system.
Ethos energy is the leader in the local region with extensive knowledge and credentials in this new technology and have the right the tools at their disposal to design and install in all situations.
LED Lighting.
Did you know LED Lights pay for themselves over the course of their lifetime? Most commercial and school buildings have old, inefficient fluorescent fittings.
LED light fittings use up to a third less electricity, slashing energy costs.
Some Schools and commercial buildings can recoup the costs of switching to LED Lights within 6 to 24 months* from installation.
*This depends on the light use time and quantity of fittings that are replaced.
