Free NZQA accredited business programmes offered

Josephine from Otara

Hi Neigbours, Just letting everyone know that I am running a free 20 week NZQA level 3 "Certificate in Money Management" programme for Te Wananga o Aotearoa. The programme will run one evening a week, on a Tuesday, from 6 - 9pm beginning 17th July and finishing on Tues 27th Nov. If you would like to take advantage of this free opportunity and gain some valuable NZQA accredited qualifications please email me and I will send you an overview. Graduating from this programme will guarantee you a place in Semester A 2019, onto the free level 4 NZQA accredited "Certificate in Small Business and Project Management (CSBM)" programme, which in turn will allow you the only pathway into the free level 5 NZQA accredited NZ Diploma in Business (Project Management). Unfortunately the CSBM programme is full for this Semester B.



If you would like to learn about money matters, including investment opportunities, debt management, property investment, and much much more send me an email. To be eligible you must be a NZ citizen or a permanent resident. Although these are Te Wananga o Aotearoa programmes, I run my classes out of MIT in Otara, for the convenience of our students on this side of Auckland.



Regards, Josephine Baker (MBA, Dip. in Adult Education)

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
