Now, upskilling, online courses and on-the-job training are all part of making your way up the career ladder.
We want to talk to people who have completed micro-credentials, bitesize qualifications for specific skills.
Perhaps you've pieced together a full qualification by doing online courses, or maybe you've taken a workshop rather than investing in a six-month course. We'd love to hear from you - email josephine.franks@stuff.co.nz

You might see arborists on site removing vegetation (including some mangrove trees) to clear the channels. This will allow water to flow more easily to sea, meaning the grounds will be drier and less prone to flooding.
Why is this work required?
Self-propagating vegetation such as mangroves establish root and branch systems within the drain passage. As these roots grow bigger they affect the flow dynamics within the drain and allow silt and sediment to settle more readily instead of being discharged to sea as would naturally occur. These deposits built up over time and in effect create more area for root growth. Eventually the capacity of the drain is reduced, posing flooding risks to neighbouring property.
The unwanted material will be removed by arborists in the first stage, then diggers will be sent in to clear out the silt and sludge.
The Ngunguru Sports Complex and Golf Course have been notified separately.

Our Coordinator at Hastings District Council recently sent us this snap from a get together with residents from a new suburb who are keen to get Neighbourhood Support up and running.
To gauge interest, he hosted a free barbecue at a park with the support of their local New Zealand Police to bring neighbours together to discuss setting it up. Every group is different in how it chooses to operate. Our policy is whatever works best for your area!

The NZ Defence Force has moved into Northland to help with the water crisis and the Government will pay $2m to secure water in the Far North. Meanwhile, Whangārei residents are now on water restrictions and bores could run dry. Do you think it is right for Central Government to step in and help? … View moreThe NZ Defence Force has moved into Northland to help with the water crisis and the Government will pay $2m to secure water in the Far North. Meanwhile, Whangārei residents are now on water restrictions and bores could run dry. Do you think it is right for Central Government to step in and help? Or should councils, and ratepayers, be left to fend on their own?
